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.

One More Chapter!
Great books for parents to read with their children.
This book was really good to start with but then focused too much on the plan to get Ahmet's parents back and this is made it a bit boring in parts because it was too repetitive. It is important because it's happening now and we learn about refugees and that part of the book was interesting and moving.
