Description
Ash's understanding of his father's past as an immigrant from Uganda in the 1970s is put to the test when he travels back in time. This experience allows him to see firsthand what his father went through, and for his friends Ash, Jess, Nadia, and Tomma, it's a chance to visit a different era.
Since starting at Hickley School, they've been visiting a town and school from their own time, but in an earlier era. This time, Ash travels back to 1973, where he meets his father's brother and friends as young Asian immigrants in a predominantly white area. As Ash navigates this new experience, he begins to question why his dad always seems so grateful for the opportunities they've had.
This journey through time unveils the true difficulties faced by people like Ash's dad, who were ethnic minorities during a tense period in history. Time School: We Will Stand with Them is part of a series that explores pivotal moments in history and learning about one's ancestry, making it an ideal choice for those interested in historical fiction, time-travel, and friendship.
