The Chronicles of a Time Travelling Teacher: The Odyssey of Kingston James

Les Walton

What if everything you stood for-every value, every method, every ‎hope for the future-was suddenly illegal, absurd, or dangerous?‎
Kingston James, an ambitious principal, is thrust back to the 1960s; ‎trapped in a world where his progressive educational ideas clash ‎with entrenched traditions. He struggles to implement changes, only ‎to face fierce resistance at every turn. Haunted by echoes of his own ‎history, Kingston uncovers painful truths that threaten to unravel his ‎identity and challenge everything he believes.‎
With each encounter, emotions run high as he grapples with the ‎weight of his choices and the impact of the past on his present. ‎Kingston must confront his deepest fears. As the lines between past ‎and present blur, suspense builds which leads to a heart-stopping ‎revelation that challenges everything.‎

Suspenseful, blisteringly funny, poignant, and unsettlingly real, The ‎Time Travelling Teacher is a powerful journey through memory, ‎ideology, and the high stakes battle for the soul of education.
