The Time School series follows four friends as they navigate their way through the first year at secondary school, whilst returning to the past at different time-periods. During these time-travelling adventures, they each discover something about their family history, as well as how events that were going on at that time affected their families. This is an opportunity for the children to understand how the past affects your present life and for Jess, Nadia, Ash and Tomma, how these events have affected them personally.
Nadia Kaminski knows very little about her Polish grandfather so how is she going to write a speech about him to read at his funeral? She's never really considered her Polish roots, so a trip back in time to time (to the end of the Second World War) and an encounter with Marcel, a Polish refugee, might be just what Nadia needs. Along with fellow time-travellers, Jess, Tomma and Ash, this is the group's second experience of Hickley School in the past, and a chance to discover the struggles of those who found themselves stranded in a country that wasn't their own. It's time to board the train for another exciting journey back in time.
