The Night Bus Hero

it was so funny that when I was trying to go to sleep , I burst out laughing and couldn't stop. I would recommend it to an nine-year old person.

Not my favourite of Onjali's books but still super.

I really like this and her other books beacause the have real events like poverty and refugees.I also like adventure books so this was definitely my favourite.

This book was very good and quite funny as well. It had the important moral to not be a bully and the story was very heartwarming. My favourite character was Mei Li because she was a wonderful person and she was so kind to all the homeless people

This was such a good book and I would recommend it to anyone between the ages of 9-13. It could be suitable for younger children but should be read before giving it to them as it covers complicated themes of homelessness and bullying. However, it tackles these issues really well and presents them in a very child friendly way. My favourite character was Thomas as from the start I had so many questions about him. His story really helped me empathise with how homeless people feel. I always thought "Why don't homeless people just go to a homeless shelter?" but this book showed me how they may be more comfortable with how they are living on the streets than to interact with people again after becoming homeless from an upsetting or traumatic experience. e.g. for Thomas this was the car crash. The end is a happy one though so do not be too worried about the outcome of the book! Raúf really is an exceptional writer and this is one of her amazing books she has written.

In this book, the main character managed to solve the mystery of the missing statues/monuments. Along the way, he learns to be kinder to people. I recommend this book to people who like mystery stories

great author

This story is a good story with funny cheeky bits

I really liked it and it's really nice. Its about this man, no one knows him and he's homeless, but he become famous and everything. He has a really cool little bus with a shower so other people without homes can feel fresh and happy too.

I think that it shows that even is you make people sad you can change and start again.

I found this book really good and enjoyed how it had information about bullies, how to tell someone and homeless people, how to help. It had the homeless code on the back and each chapter had one of the symbols.

I find Onjali Q. Rauf's books amazing! They really inspire you! All her books have a moral and they teach you about everyone being equal. This book is about a bully who accuses a homeless person of commiting a massive theft! Read this book and find out what happens with this accusation!
It is an amazing book! I would definitly recommend it! 5***** definitly from me!

A really enjoyable book, filled with kindness and adventure. It is equally as good if not better than the authors other book 'The Boy at the Back of the Class'. My favourite character was Thomas because he was kind and he was involved in more adventure. I would recommend this book to others aged 9- 13.

I love this book because Hector is really naughty and then there is a pattern from naughty to sad. At the very start of the book the first word is Hector. Hector is always in detention because he always in to trouble. His two friends are: Kaite and Will. his brother is Hercules and his sister is Helen . His mom and dad doesn't like him.

So good so far!

Hilarious, teaches a lesson of humility and kindness. Great for UKS2

this is a very suspenseful book. The main point of the book is that you can learn to change yourself like Hector did to change himself from a bully to a very nice person. People kept judged Hector by his actions and they thought he will not be able to change himself but he did. Also the mystery about the artifacts being stolen was very cool.

It was really fun and cool learning about exciting statues

thus is a great mystery gook where the boy try’s to find the culprit will meeting new friends especially homeless people and you find out more about them.
I have got a special secret too! If you look in the last few pages of the book you would find lots of facts about homeless people.

A fantastic and gripping story which has lots of discussion points throughout.

Strange, but at the start of this book I really struggled with it. I really didn’t like the central character, Hector, and struggled with the storyline too. Then, everything turned around…but not in an excessively soppy or trite manner. I loved the final section of the book, with the ride on the Night bus and the part inside St. Paul’s Cathedral. Oh, goodness…

What's not to like about a good adventure book? This book was fiction and my favourite character would be Mei - Li because even though Hector and his friends harass Thomas and mess with his stuff she still forgives him and helps him.

Amazing!

This was a story full of challenges, I found it difficult to relate to the main character in the beginning but as his character unfolded I became more aware of why he behaves in the way he does. A fantastic story to support learning about empathy and that it is never to late to become a better kinder person.

It was intesting and powerful

I thought it was just a boring story at first but then I knew by the end of the book it had a very powerful meaning and realised it was a very good and exciting adventure.

This book was about a boy named Hector who always bully’s kids in his school they all think he is a menace but he wants to prove them all and wrong he did this by helping a girl in his class work in the soup kitchen and help find the thief. I liked this character as he changed from naughty to good

I thought this was a brilliant book. Onjali Q. Rauf describes the characters feelings so well that you feel like you’re in the scene.

An excellent read that made you think about how you can help in the world. Small acts of kindness go a long way. Enjoyed reading about how people can change. Thomas was my favourite character, a heavy personal story behind him but willing to give people a second chance. Would definitely recommend.

I like this book because it is about a mean boy who turns into a kind boy and stops robbers. The only bit I don't like is how mean the boy is.
