This brilliantly written memoir takes the reader on a journey into the past, to a rural England long gone, when horses worked the fields & small boys spent most of their time outdoors. Ken Sears was born in 1934 to a poor farming family in Hertfordshire
- the fifth child of what would be eleven. He learns how to fend for himself at an early age. His boyhood life coincides with wartime, evacuees & American GIs arriving in his home town of Hemel Hempstead (the Treacle Bumpstead of the title). At the age of nine he is caught stealing eggs & accused of killing a chicken (which he denies to this day) & is sent to reform school for five years. So begins a punishing existence, but it breeds a tough teenager, & after learning the trade of bricklaying he is called up to do his National Service in 1952. So begins his adventures in the Army, in Europe & Korea, where the ever-plucky Ken
- who has an eye for the ladies & is always landing himself in trouble
- finds not-always legal ways to make life that bit easier. After the Army he comes back to England & sets up a building business. From there he sees his home town change out of all recognition. The story is a characterful testament to the resourceful generation of the men who did National Service, fought wars, built towns & stood up to everything in their way. Ken's story reads like Commando Comics meets Fred Dibnah.

Product Description

Told with heart & humour, The Boy at the Back of the Class is a child's perspective on the refugee crisis, highlighting the importance of friendship & kindness in a world that doesn't always make sense.

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 & never smiles & 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 & fires & bullies that hurt people. & the more I find out about him, the more I want to help.

That's where my best friends Josie, Michael & Tom come in. Because you see, together we've come up with a plan...
