I gotta say this was a very sweet book, but also quite weird and different. First off, the MC isn't the boy at the back of the class and not the one on the cover which is very interesting. Also, we don't find out the MC's name or gender until the end, so that was interesting and we weren't biased or anything. I gotta say the MC seemed very neutral to me neither ‘boyish' nor ‘girlish' so I guess that was good. (I read what the author says about this stuff, and I decided that I am not rating the author but the books she wrote, same as I do with HP.) Also, it's cool how it's written from the perspective of a classmate of a refugee kid and how much they cared to make things good and become friends with Ahmet. It was sweet and I loved that! Also, I think the MC is likely autistic for some reason as they didn't seem to understand feelings, lies, and stuff much, and was so obsessed with finding Ahmet's family and couldn't stop thinking about it, also they had a strong moral compass. So that was nice even if it wasn't intended. I recommend it to all!
