Poignant and powerful narrative about intolerance. When a German refugee moves to a small English town in the aftermath of World War II, he is an outsider. The gang decide to take Klaus under their wing, but their increasingly hateful pranks under the leadership of new lad Joe cause Klaus to question their actions. A powerful and emotive tale about standing up to bullies. Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant and dyslexic readers aged 12+

A short novel about a group of ‘bad lads’ in the North-East and a boy from East Germany who moves to the area. Set just after WWII. Klaus Vogel helps the boys stand up to the ‘ringleader’ of the ‘bad lads’ and shows they don’t need to follow his example. This is a short story aimed at lower KS3 readers with a reading age below their choronological age. It may be appropriate for Year 6 at the end of the year
