The Boy At the Back of the Class
Edité par Orion Children's Books. London , 2018
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
Ahmet, 9 ans, est un nouvel élève de la classe de la narratrice, qui le trouve bizarre : il ne parle pas, ne sourit pas et n'aime pas les bonbons. Quand elle apprend qu'Ahmet est un réfugié qui a fui la guerre dans son pays, elle décide de l'aider et élabore un plan avec ses amis. Prix Blue Peter 2019 et du meilleur livre jeunesse 2019 des librairies Waterstones. Premier roman.
