From Onjali Q. Rauf, author of The Boy at the Back of the Class, comes another incredible story, told with humour and heart. Touching on the challenges navigated by children caring for loved ones at home, this story brings into focus their hardships and worries, alongside the unexpected, invisible sources of kindness which can change their lives.'It's funny that I'm named after a movie star. If I ever became one, I would probably win every award on the planet, because I have to act every single day of my life.'
10-year-old Audrey has a secret. She's the main carer for her severely ill father. With her mum having left half a year ago, Audrey is constantly in fear of being found out by social services, so she has fine-tuned her life into becoming one of the best actresses on the planet. As soon as she steps out of the front door, the show is on, and all the world becomes her stage! No-one - not even the postman who visits their house every day - would ever guess that she is a nurse and doctor for her father, the family food shopper (and sometimes shoplifter!), a medicines collector, and even bedtime-reader for her younger siblings.
Audrey is becomes determined to find a way of helping her Dad get to the best doctor in the best hospital in the country so that he can get better and they won't ever need to be apart and she won't have to worry anymore.The only problem is, it's a dream that will cost her thousands.
Forging a plan which involves a mini-mountain of stolen goods, her postman, and exactly seventy-three lottery tickets, Audrey sets about trying to make her dream for her family come true. But whilst Audrey is busy trying to become a millionaire, her ever-watchful postman has also been embarking on a secret mission of his own. One that will alter Audrey's life - and that of everyone on her street - beyond recognition.
Autoren-Porträt von Onjali Q. Raúf
Winner of the Waterstones Children's Book Prize in 2019, the Blue Peter Book Prize 2019, and other international accolades since, Onjali Q Rauf's first book The Boy at the Back of the Class was inspired by a baby met in the refugee camps of Calais, France, whilst on an aid convoy for her organisation, O's Refugee Aid Team. Telling the story of a group of friends befriending a refugee boy at school with depth and humour, it continues to be a must-read for children and adults around the world. Rauf's second release went on to win the Diversity Book Award for Children's Fiction (UK) 2020. The Star Outside My Window drew on her experiences as founder and CEO of Making Herstory - an organisation working to help women and children flee the impacts of male-led domestic violence. Her ongoing works with homeless communities, food banks, homeless shelters, as well as her personal experiences of racism, sexism and bullying, led to the releases of The Night Bus Hero, The Great Food Bank Heist and ultimately, The Lion Above the Door.
Following an influx of enquiries from children about how to aid refugees and the homeless, or fight for the environment and the rights of women and girls, Rauf wrote her first non-fiction title Hope on the Horizon, as a personal guide to budding young activists everywhere.
In 2023, a deep love for funny sayings coupled with that of travelling, led to the release Where Magic Grows: a collection of of seven original fairy tales in which Rauf celebrates the peoples and cultures of such lands as Syria, Egypt, Japan and India.
Rauf was recognised for her services to literature and women's rights in the 2022 New Year Honours.
