From the last row

He-from-the-last-row-of-the-class doesn’t like school, he feels different from his classmates and is bored. But a new pupil arrives and sits in the front of the class. Her name is Jessica. A whole class separates them… He-from-the-last-row has no choice: to meet She-from-the-first-row, he has to go all the way to the blackboard. Will he dare to do it?

Strong points:

-How an isolated child manages to fit in with the rest of his class.

-The text is interspersed with word play and poetry, while being very accurate.

-A picture book with vivid colors, in a very modern and graphic style.

Key words: school, loneliness, love, integration, differences
