In 2019, Onjali Q. Rauf’s refugee story ‘The Boy at the Back of the Class’ was chosen as the 2019 BIG READ for schools across Sussex!
The concept is simple – one book, by one author is selected for classes to read, explore, discuss and creatively engage with.
Sign up and from March – May and get:
> FREE weekly resources themed to the book
> FREE e-bulletins with points for discussion, fun facts and more
> Early bird discount on tickets to see the author LIVE at the YCR Brighton Festival event
All you need to do is purchase copies of the book, and Book Nook, Hove offer participating schools 20% off the chosen title and free delivery.
