    About Heroes Like Us: Two Stories

    From Onjali Q. Rauf, acclaimed author of The Boy At the Back of the Class, come two poignant tales of modern-day heroism, featuring supermarket theives, a visit with the Queen, and plenty of laughs!

    Ten-year old Ahmet, once known as the “Boy at the Back of the Class”, became the Most Famous Refugee Boy in the World when he and his friends stood up for refugee children like him all over Britain. But they’re just getting started! 
     
    THE DAY WE MET THE QUEEN

    Ahmet and his friends have been invited to tea—by none other than the Queen of England herself! But when their journey is unexpectedly interrupted by an old enemy, it will take some quick thinking and an ingenious plan to make it to the palace—and the queen—on time.
     
    THE GREAT FOOD BANK HEIST

    On Thursdays, Nelson, Ashley and Mum head out to the food bank. With its shining cans and boxes of food stacked from floor to ceiling, Nelson thinks it’s the best kind of bank there is. But there’s a thief in town, and the shelves of the food bank are getting emptier each day.
     
    One thing is for certain: someone has to put a stop to the robberies. And Nelson and his friends plan to do just that, with a daring supermarket stake-out that’s sure to catch the Food Bank Theives—if they don’t get found out first!
     
    In this two-novella collection, discover kid heroes making a difference in the world, featuring old friends and some new classmates you won’t want to leave.
