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 eight 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 the truth is, 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 be his friend.
That's where my best friends Josie, Michael and Tom come in. Because you see, together we've come up with a plan.

Boy at the Back of the Class, comes another incredible story, told with
humour and heart.
'The boy's an absolute menace.'
'He's a bully. A lost cause!'
'Why can't he be more like his sister?'
I've been getting into trouble for as long I can remember. Usually I
don't mind 'cos some of my best, most brilliant ideas have come from
sitting in detention.
But recently it feels like no one believes me about anything - even
when I'm telling the truth! And it's only gotten worse since I played a
prank on the old man who lives in the park.
Everyone thinks I'm just a bully. They don't believe I could be a hero.
But I'm going to prove them all wrong...
Told from the perspective of a bully, this book explores themes of
bullying and homelessness, while celebrating kindness, friendship and
the potential everyone has to change for the good.

Sanko is the most wanted man in the universe. Wherever he goes,
everybody tries to kill him, but things got unusually dire when his
enemies send an immortal "photonuclear man" to try and snuff him
out. Somehow, Sanko and company survive, and decide to make a pit
stop at Darknest, the mysterious planet of darkness. Darknest holds
all sorts of secrets, but the biggest of all might be Hajime
Damemaru, one of Sanko's companions. Just who is Damemaru, and how
does he keep coming back to life?
A FISTFUL OF BONES Zaha Sanko is the most wanted man in the
universe. They say that if you claim his bones, you'll receive
anything your heart desires. Having the entire galaxy trying to

side, not to mention a talking spaceship and three horribly
powerful space weirdos. Together, they've stayed one step ahead of
the interstellar megacorporation Photosfere and an ancient cult
that calls itself the Lighthead Order. But now, those two
organizations are about to join forces to create a brand-new secret
weapon!
