Jacob'S Story: The Ups And Downs Of An English Teenager In Spain

Jacob Torney, uprooted from his Cumbrian home at the tender age of fifteen-and-a-half, had to get to grips with a new language and culture whether he liked it or not. Thrust into small-town Spanish life just when he should have been studying for his GCSEs, his candid account tells not only of his own ups and downs, but also those of his Guinness-guzzling, tax-evading father, his long-suffering mother, and his happy-go-lucky younger sister, Katie. After steering a shaky course between the pitfalls of adolescence and the huge demands of school life, Jacob holds nothing, or very little, back as he recounts the varied adventures of his first year on Spanish soil with the relative wisdom of his twenty years. A must-read book for teenage expats to Spain, and their parents too.
