There used to be an empty chair at the back of my class, but now a new boy called Ahmet is sitting in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe'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. . .\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hachette","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40505201754146,"sku":"9781510105010","price":18.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0052\/0785\/1042\/products\/9781510105010.jpg?v=1655261031","url":"https:\/\/petronella.live\/products\/boy-at-the-back-of-the-class-the","provider":"Petronella's Gallery and Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
