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

Join Aniyah, EJ and Olivia 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.

It’s Notting Hill Carnival time! Olivia, EJ and Aniyah have been transported to 1950s London, and they’re about to meet Claudia Jones, who organised the first carnival in Britain. Will the children be able to put their skills to use and help get the carnival up and running?
