Time School: We Will Honour Them is due for release on 23rd July and we would like to invite the amazing Year 6 students to come together - virtually - in the classroom or in their homes - to celebrate the launch of this book in a dedicated event just for these fabulous children who have seen the last few months of their Primary School lives upended by the coronavirus! Author Nikki Young will host a reading, talk about the series which launched on World Book Day just before the pandemic hit the UK, encourage the children to join in with some activities, and discuss the importance of historical fiction for children.

The Time School books are set in the early years of Secondary School and one 11-year old reviewer said of the first book (Time School: We Will Remember Them): "It got me excited about moving to a different school and I learned a lot about life in England at the end of World War One."

Nikki is going to reveal a competition, open to all year six children embarking on the exciting journey to secondary school, which will close at the end of the summer holidays.

As well as joining this dedicated event for Year 6 students, it offers a chance for boys and girls to 'meet' an author, find out more about the creative writing process from an expert (Nikki also runs the Storymakers Club which offers creative writing workshops for children) and hopefully they'll be inspired to read, write and illustrate stories in the future.

Whether you'll be in school, homeschool or at home chilling for the afternoon, we would love you to join us... and tell your friends!

All those who RSVP will be sent a Zoom invite nearer to the event and will be invited to buy copies of Time School 1 and 2 before the event if they wish with a discount code. You'll also be invited to send in your questions in advance so you can get a shout-out and your question answered by Nikki Young!
