Spirit of the Warriors by James Knight

CricConnect Stories | November 29, 2024

A heads-up about something a little different. Cricconnect member, James Knight, has written a fictitiou kids' story that aims to promote relationships between Australia and India through the beauty of cricket.

The story is told through the eyes of a drought- affected farm boy, Jack, and an Indian boy, Ajeet, who has just arrived to live with his family in an Aussie bush town. They don't always see eye-to eye, but in the end, this is a beautiful story about the strength of human spirit.

Although it is aimed at upper primary school and early secondary school readers, there are messages in it for all of us. As part of the book, the boys write their own diaries. Here's a sample Chapter.
