Deep Sea Diver

“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 have been transported back in time! They meet Jacques Francis, a diver, who’s leading a team to salvage goods from King Henry VIII’s favourite ship the Mary Rose, which lies on the seabed 12 metres below. Can the trio survive the revolting Tudor cooking, save a girl accused of witchcraft, and solve a mystery?

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