Jeremy at Crale

Setting the template for almost every subsequent novel set at school, 'Jeremy at Crale' follows the trials and tribulations of our eponymous hero. The third in the series, Jeremy is now 15 and finds himself the centre of attention, thanks to his football skills. However, in the school setting, attention can be both wanted and unwanted. Soon, Jeremy acquires his one great enemy and must work out what to do in order to survive each day. Semi-autobiographical, 'Jeremy at Crale' is a funny and poignant exploration of puberty and relationships.-
