    About this ebook

    An ordinary camping trip goes horribly wrong. Al and Jenny find themselves in the year 2055… and the future is grim.

    The countryside is full of troops and army tanks.

    But worse than that, there are no black people, no Asian people… Only white people are left.

    Something dreadful has happened. Al and Jenny are stuck in a nightmare. Will they ever get out?

    Race Against Time is a story about racism and intolerance in a future that might just come to pass…

    Written, edited and designed for teen readers who love gripping stories with as few obstacles to reading as possible. Particularly suitable for dyslexic, struggling and reluctant readers with a reading age of 7 and over.
