New Directions (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781636830162)

This sequel to The Right Direction finds the Watkinson family heading for turmoil. An unguarded remark from Jimbo on a TV talk-show causes feminist outrage, and Leanne crosses swords with a hidebound Ofsted inspector and the Principal of The Derwent Academy. Crisis looms, also, at Netherdale Amateur Operatic Society, where Jenny is rehearsal accompanist.

All of this impacts, one way or another, on Adam, who is just beginning to enjoy some peace and relaxation, having recently relinquished the post of Conductor of Netherdale Choral Society. Duty beckons, however, and he and Jenny must find a way to help Jimbo, Leanne and the Society each find a new direction.
