The Boy At the Back of the Class

內容簡介

內容簡介 坐在班上後排的男孩 幽默真誠，以孩子的眼，感同身受，描繪對難民伸出援手的真摯友情。 女孩Alexa班上座位的後排，一直有一個空的位子。現在，有人坐了。新同學跟她一樣9歲，但是他很奇怪，不說話，沒有笑容，沒有一點喜悅。是害羞嗎？或許好吃的食物能讓他有點反應。Alexa最愛檸檬雪酪，但她注意到新同學竟也不喜歡。後來，她才知道為什麼。原來，新同學是難民，來自敘利亞，為了躲避戰爭﹙真真實實的戰爭，而不是虛擬的電玩遊戲。他們的炸彈和子彈，是真的會讓人受傷﹚而逃往他國。他的妹妹沉沒在海裡，他也和父母失散了。Alexa知道愈多愈想伸出援手，尤其當英國宣布將關閉邊境時。於是，她和幾位好朋友共同擬出一個計劃。不過，她得面對學校惡霸，也要面對鄰居的偏見。奔走中，她得知自己祖母也是難民，也同樣幫助其他人躲避納粹攻擊…。 A World Book Day 2020 Author WINNER OF THE BLUE PETER BOOK AWARD 2019 WINNER OF THE WATERSTONES CHILDREN'S BOOK PRIZE 2019 SHORTLISTED FOR THE JHALAK PRIZE 2019 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
