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...On a perfectly ordinary school day, something extraordinary happens a boy with pale skin, lion eyes and a tattered red rucksack walks in. Unable to speak English and seated at the back of the class, Ahmet the refugee kid becomes the perfect target for bullies and rumours alike.But Ahmet has also captured the attention and empathy of a fellow classmate, who will do anything to help him find his family. Even if that involves a plan or five, and the Queen herself!Told 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.With beautiful illustrations by Pippa CurnickBEAUTIFUL GOLD FOIL ANNIVERSARY EDITION NOW AVAILABLE FIND IT UNDER ALL FORMATS AND EDITIONS
