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.That’s where my best friends Josie, Michael and Tom come in. Because you see, together we’ve come up with a plan. . .With beautiful illustrations by Pippa Curnick
