Summary
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....

My Granddaughter and I really enjoyed this book
My granddaughter finds it difficult to get to sleep on an evening so I joined audible to help her. It has really been successful helping her and I love to listen the books as-well so I can discuss the books with her. This book kept us both captivated to the very end and gave my granddaughter lots to think and ask questions about.

Wonderful book, moving and thought provoking.
Now rate this as the best children’s book my son and I have enjoyed together on audible. Handles an important issue well and gives us all good for thought. I laughed and I cried and we couldn’t wait for the next chapter. Buy this book!
