The Boy At The Back Of The Class
Award Winning Books, BAME, Diverse Fiction, Living in the Wider World, Must-Haves for Year 6, Onjali Q. Rauf, Refugee and ImmigrantsThere 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 …
Told with heart and humour, The Boy at the Back of the Class by Onjali Q. Rauf 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.
