THE MAGICAL YET HC – ANGELA DITERLIZZI-LORENA ALVAREZ

From Onjali Q. Rauf, the award-winning and best-selling author of The Boy at the Back of the Class, comes another incredible story, told with humour and heart. The boy s an absolute menace. He s a bully. A lost cause! Why can t he be more like his sister? I ve been getting into trouble for as long I can remember. Usually I don t mind cos some of my best, most brilliant ideas have come from sitting in detention. But recently it feels like no one believes me about anything – even when I m telling the truth! And it s only gotten worse since I played a prank on the old man who lives in the park. Everyone thinks I m just a bully. They don t believe I could be a hero. But I m going to prove them all wrong… Told from the perspective of a bully, this book explores themes of bullying and homelessness, while celebrating kindness, friendship and the potential everyone has to change for the good.
