The Boy at the Back of the Class

SHORTLISTED FOR THE BLUE PETER BOOK AWARD 2019Told with heart and humour, The Boy at the Back of the Class is a childs perspective on the refugee crisis, highlighting the importance of friendship and kindness in a world that doesnt always make sense.There used to be an empty chair at the back of my class, but now a new boy called Ahmet is sitting in it.Hes nine years old (just like me), but hes very strange. He never talks and never smiles and doesnt like sweets - not even lemon sherbets, which are my favourite!But then I learned the truth: Ahmet really isnt very strange at all. Hes a refugee whos run away from a War. A real one. With bombs and fires and bullies that hurt people. And the more I find out about him, the more I want to help.Thats where my best friends Josie, Michael and Tom come in. Because you see, together weve come up with a plan. . .With beautiful illustrations by Pippa Curnick
