A worthy companion to Will you come on Wednesday? This collection of short stories does not set out to self-consciously promote positive relations between racial groups but manages to achieve this very effectively in a gentle and delightful way. Each of the five stories deals sensitively with the everyday problems that occur for these inner-city Asian children when there is a cultural clash of values. Jubilee Park School is a happy, caring place where the solutions are thoughtfully and kindly resolved.
