What does it take to turn a bully into a hero? Empathy and the power of forgiveness take center stage in this poignant novel--now in paperback!--by the award-winning author of Getting in trouble is what Hector does best. He knows that not much is expected of him. In fact, he gets some of his most brilliant prank ideas while sitting in detention. But how far is too far? When Hector plays a prank on a homeless man and is seen and shamed by a schoolmate, he reaches a turning point. He wants to be viewed differently and decides to do something that will change his fate for the better. But will anyone take him seriously?
This moving story told with humor and heart presents readers with some recognizable characters, like a bully and a teachers pet, and introduces them to some they may not be so familiar with--like those who are homeless, who live on the street, and whose stories are equally meaningful and important. Readers will feel motivated to see the best in others and hopeful that bad things can be overcome with effort. -

From Onjali Q. Rauf, the bestselling and award-winning author of The Boy at the Back of the Class, and award-winning illustrator Pippa Curnick, comes a moving picture book that helps young children understand and empathise with the refugee crisis, and shows the power that friendship, kindness and generosity can have.
There''s a new girl in my class. She has eyes as wide and as golden as a tiger''s, skin as pale as a glass of milk, and hair as shiny as a mirror. I''d like to be her friend. But she never plays with me in the playground or makes sandcastles in the sandpit. She''s doesn''t even like Story Time.
The cleverest people I know say that the new girl is sad because she had to leave her home, her family, her school, her toys, her books and all her friends too.
But I''ve got an idea! There is something I can do to make her feel better when she''s missing everything she''s left behind ...
