Alicia, a third-generation Canadian, doesn't know much about her Punjabi heritage. But that starts to change when she stumbles across a memorial for the Punjabi passengers who tried immigrating to Canada on the Komagata Maru ship. To her surprise, she finds a familiar face in the memorial, and soon she is swept up in a magical adventure to the past to learn the truth about the obstacles her family faced in their journey to Canada.

Written in both English and Punjabi, this short explanation of the Komagata Maru tragedy will both educate and entertain young readers about a little-known part of Canada's history.
