A cosy, swoony Christmas romance where one big decision leads to two different versions of love - for fans of The Pumpkin Spice Cafe and Gilmore Girls, and readers of Jenny Han.

One choice. One season. Two different versions of falling in love . . .

Cassie lives in Oak Falls, where the holiday season is about ice skating in the snow, browsing the Christmas market, and curling up in front a log fire with a hot chocolate.

Cassie's been feeling left behind since her friends went away to college, and is counting down the days until they - and her on/off boyfriend - come home for Christmas break. She's been hoping for a romantic reunion with Tom under the mistletoe, so she's crushed when he announces he's met someone new at college. Then Cassie's dad offers to buy her last-minute flights to visit him in Australia and she's faced with a decision. It's a Sliding Doors moment . . .

In alternating chapters see Cassie live both versions of her choice - and two different versions of falling in love . . .

Cassie could stay at home and try to win Tom back - or even get to know her cute new friend Jack the Christmas tree seller a little better.

Or she could spend the holidays in Australia, enjoying barbecues on the beach and learning to surf. If only Lucas, the son of her dad's friends, would stop acting so superior, maybe she'd even have a chance of a holiday romance. . .

'There used to be an empty chair at the back of my class, but now a new boy called Ahmet is sitting in it. He's a refugee who's run away from a War. A real one. With bombs and fires and bullies that hurt people. And the more I find out about him, the more I want to help ...

That's where my best friends Josie, Michael and Tom come in. Because you see, together we've come up with a plan...'

On a perfectly ordinary school day, something extraordinary happens: a boy with pale skin, lion eyes and a tattered red rucksack walks in. Unable to speak English and seated at the back of the class, Ahmet 'the refugee kid' becomes the perfect target for bullies and rumours alike.

But Ahmet has also captured the attention and empathy of a fellow classmate, who will do anything to help him find his family. Even if that involves a plan - or five, and the Queen herself!

Told with heart and humour, The Boy at the Back of the Class is a child's perspective on the refugee crisis, highlighting the importance of friendship and kindness in a world that doesn't always make sense.

With beautiful illustrations by Pippa Curnick
