Raúf writes contemporary middle-grade fiction that puts compassion and social awareness at its core, without ever feeling heavy-handed. In The Night Bus Hero, a boy known for causing trouble discovers unexpected courage when drawn into the world of a local homeless community, learning hard lessons about truth, prejudice and kindness. The Boy at the Back of the Class follows a warm-hearted classroom narrator as new pupil Ahmet arrives carrying a heavy secret about his journey as a refugee — a gentle, accessible introduction to empathy and inclusion. The Star Outside My Window tells the tender story of Aniyah, whose mother disappears and who is placed into foster care with her little brother; through grief and uncertainty, she finds comfort in the night sky and the people who step up to love her. The Lion Above the Door follows Leo, who feels invisible at school until a trip uncovers a forgotten story from history that changes how he sees his place in the world. Together, these four novels form a thought-provoking reading journey exploring homelessness, migration, loss and identity, told with relatable characters, gentle humour and hopeful endings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour full-length paperback novels from an award-recognised, bestselling children's author\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores empathy, kindness, resilience and social awareness in an age-appropriate way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for independent readers aged 9-12, reluctant readers, and classroom discussion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for bedtime reading, book clubs, and school libraries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat gift set for birthdays, Christmas, or encouraging a love of reading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight paperback format, easy for children to carry, share and re-read\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOnjali Q.
