This half term, Room 8 have chosen The Boy at the Back of the Class by Onjali Q Rauf. This is a wonderful story about a new boy who arrives after seeking refuge following war in his home country. It is a very kind, often funny, story which includes a grand adventure as the story unfolds.

The video below is an interview with Onjali Q Rauf – it would be great to watch this together with your child and have a chat about it.
