Told with heart and humour, The Boy at the Back of the Class is a child s perspective on the refugee crisis, highlighting the importance of friendship and kindness in a world that doesn t 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.

He s nine years old (just like me), but he s very strange. He never talks and never smiles and doesn t like sweets - not even lemon sherbets, which are my favourite!

But then I learned the truth: Ahmet really isn t very strange at all. He s a refugee who s 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.

That s where my best friends Josie, Michael and Tom come in. Because you see, together we ve come up with a plan. . .

With beautiful illustrations by Pippa Curnick
