The Boy at the Back of the Class
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....

Der Junge aus der letzten Reihe
Summary
Wir brauchen die Queen! Ahmet ist neu in unserer Klasse, genauso alt wie ich (neun Jahre) und verhält sich komisch. Aber ich weiß, warum: Ahmet musste aus seinem Land fliehen, weil dort Krieg herrscht. Ganz ohne seine Eltern. Ahmet ist überhaupt nicht komisch, sondern traurig, weil er seine Eltern vermisst. Seit er mit uns Fußball spielt, sind wir Freunde und wir müssen ihm unbedingt helfen seine Eltern wiederzufinden. Dabei kann uns nur die Queen höchstpersönlich unterstützen. Aber wie kommen wir bloß in den Buckingham Palace?
