The Boy At the Back of the Class by Onjali Q. Raúf
3.0
A sweet and adventurous tale that manages to balance the fantasy of a child's mind and the reality of the world whilst handling heavy topics such as war, oppression, bullying and racism in a delicate and sophisticated manner.
It was a delight to read this story and the ending left me feeling warm.
Of course not everything that happened in this story is realistic but it was eye opening.
I believe this a story that every child and maybe adult should read once.
Edit: I've just found out that the author is Transphobic and I want to say that the message of this story is important. We shouldn't support the author but the art instead but I in no way shape or form condone Transphobia.
