"The Day We Met the Queen" had an accurate representation of how children think, talk etcetera. Also, the book handles immigration in a way children will understand the book. Ahmet was a great example of being a refugee because of the discrimination he faces in school and outside of school, with classmates and even MPs. Onjali did a great job

This is a really good book and a really good sequel.
The first book is definitely a little bit better, but that is probably because it is about 3 times the length.
This is a really important book and I definitely think that it should be compulsory reading.
This book is so important and just has such a good narrative. This book is also really eye-opening about the way that people react to refugees. This is so important and I'm so glad that I read it.

A fantastic sequel to The Boy at the Back of the Class. Ahmet and his friends are off to their visit with the queen but as they are telling their school about it in assembly, someone sets of stink bombs in the hall. There are then protests in London about refugees and whether they should be allowed into england. A great story with some very important themes which could generate good discussions with children. A lovely book to read after the big at the back of the class, I’m sure children would thoroughly enjoy it!

A delightful mini-sequel to the amazing The Boy at the Back of the Class! Just about everything you needed to wrap up this book and was thoroughly enjoyable.

I was excited to discover this mini-sequel to my current favourite children’s book. It continues to educate children about the incredibly current and concerning debate surrounding the refugee crisis through the perspective of young children.
In such a short story, Raúf captures the opposing views of reporters, members of parliament, teachers and high-ranking officials at Buckingham Palace to reinforce the message that refugees should be welcomed and accepted into our country.

This was a lovely little follow us story to the boy at the back of the class, it didn't pack the same emotional punches but it was a perfect, fun, quick read.
