About this deal

It soon becomes clear that Thomas has been wronged accused due to his appearance and the pair form and unlikely friendship that leads to them pursuing the actual culprit.

When a spate of London landmark sculptures are suddenly stolen, including Paddington Bear and the Eros statue in Piccadilly Circus, Hector is convinced the crimes have been carried out by homeless people led by Thomas - but no sooner has he reported Thomas to the police than he realises he's got it horribly wrong.I also have a wider knowledge of the homeless after reading this, and I don't think I could ever walk past a person on the street in the same way again.

Raúf is a children’s author and human rights activist, the founder of two charities Making Herstory and O’ Refugee Aid Team.She is also the founder of O's Refugee Aid Team, which provides support for refugee families surviving in Calais and Dunkirk. The humanising through the characters introduced in her book inculcate a very much needed togetherness and realisation of the common good that many youngsters need to grow up in and around. Hector's character arc was superb and he really did shine through in the end which was heart-warming to read. But I can't help reducing the stars rating that would be entitled to her writing due to the fact that the bullying is not explained (he's old enough and is conscious of what he does). Now the author gives young readers a little journey into the world of homelessness and adds to that a bully and a series of high-profile London thefts.

Vylomeniny, lotroviny, zavádzanie, krádeže a klamstvá, nenáležité osočovanie či snaha ublížiť a s ňou spojené nepravdepodobné nočné dobrodružstvo. Raúf's craft is so beautiful, you are immersed in the story as soon as you open the book and everything feels so real. Raúf’s story really brings it alive and makes it human, something you can touch rather than something that’s hidden in the shadows. This isn't exactly a 'story of redemption' but it does take in several angles and does so successfully, threading Hector's growing understanding of homelessness with a confusing friendship with someone he's bullied, and even a mystery/crime plot as they attempt to prove who is committing the thefts. With the help of his enemy Mei Lei, Hector must race against time to make sure justice is done - but that's not the only thing he needs to change.As a number of threads weave together, Hector finds himself wrapped up in a crime-busting mystery as well unwittingly embarking upon a journey of personal change that enables him to better see the world through the eyes of others. Vergara’s pen made big, loopy letters on the board, leaving behind a shiny green trail just like a slug’s. At the end of the book, Raúf has put together some useful information and activities on bullying, homelessness, the symbols mentioned in the story, and various charities that you can contact should you need, or wish to offer, help.
