“Books have an instant appeal.”
Edco supporting literacy and promoting reading for all Edco have teamed up with the JCSP Demonstration Library Project to make the In Pieces trilogy available to all schools. The novel, In Pieces, has proved to be very popular. It is recommended by the NCCA/DES for first year students of English and is published by the Junior Cycle School Programme (JCSP) Library Project. In Pieces tells the story of Alan, who is in his first year in secondary school. His mother has just died and he and his dad, Robbie, are struggling. Alan’s best friend is Mary. The story follows Alan through the school year and has a touch of magic realism about it.
Mary’s Shadow continues the story of Mary and Alan. It recounts the ups and down of their friendship through second year. The novel reflects the voices, concerns and lives of many of the young writers with whom Kevin worked during the residency. NEW
Rollercoaster is the final book of the In Pieces trilogy. It is narrated by Mary. She describes a turbulent year in her life as she copes with the pressure of exams, tensions within her family, annoying boys and the complications of friendships old and new.
