   Amazing and unputdownable!

   5 stars for this book! I nearly cried when I read it, and I also got so excited! It made me think about refugees from a completely different point of view. Just so good!10/10

   Incredible

   Such an important read. Books like this engage our children in conversations they should be a part of. Loved it!

   My 8 y/o loves it

   Heart warming & thought provoking book about kindness, friendship and real-world suffering- written in a way that children can understand and empathise with. It’s funny and a bit off the wall with ‘the plan’. My son has loved reading this at bedtime and often requests 2 or 3 chapters... the grown ups love it too. Really would recommend.

   Loved it!!

   I have to say I loved reading this to my boys. It's such a lovely story about friendship, kindness, selflessness and courage. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone. It's so well written. My boys said it was the best story they ever heard, they loved it. I will definitely buy more books from this new Author

   Tearjerker

   I cried when I read this book. It was so beautifully written and left a positive message.
   A new boy has started at school and the main character is trying to befriend him although he doesn't speak a word of English.
   Cleverly written, with a few twists on the way.

   This book is amazing. I read it in class. I really loved how the author didn’t say if the protagonist was a boy or a girl at one point when the guards caught her when I was deep into the book. My favourite part is when the author makes us thinks it is a boy. This 8s because the protagonist liked tin tin and she also liked a lot of things that a boy would usually like. But when we heard it was a girl, we were confused. With so much detail we couln’t still be able to find the answer. Overall,this was an amazing book and I give it 5 stars. Thank you
