Collins Big Cat - Atlantic Adventure: Band 14/Ruby

“Roll double six or double three, let’s learn about your history.”

Join Aniyah, EJ and Olivia, the time-travelling trio, as they play their Ludi board game and are transported to another action-packed adventure back in time, helping real people from history and solving exciting mysteries along the way.

Aniyah, EJ and Olivia are on the Empire Windrush as it sets off from Jamaica on its long journey to England. Aniyah and EJ are especially excited when they meet their great grandmother, but can they help her to find her missing Ludi board and ensure it is still waiting for them in their own time?

This exciting book is one of several action-packed adventure stories from Black history, written and illustrated by Nadine Cowan.
