From Maryam Master comes the story of a 12-year-old refugee who's trying to establish a new life in Australia, grapple with his past and, most importantly, find his voice.
Hero doesn’t feel like a hero, but sometimes it feels like the universe is asking her to be one.
When Aria, a mysterious boy who never ever speaks, arrives at her school and is immediately picked on by the Bully-in-Chief – His Royal Thug-ness Doofus (Rufus) – Hero and her bestie Jaz feel compelled to step in and help … except they’re far too chicken to actually do anything helpful or heroic. So, instead they befriend Aria and try to uncover the truth about this boy with no words …
'Maryam is a brilliantly funny writer for kids. I have asked her to adapt my own books for the stage and she did a magnificent job every time. This original story of hers is an absolute joy.' (on Exit Through the Gift Shop)
David Walliams
'Forced immigration, women’s rights, humanity, bravery, friendship, and tolerance all get a nod in such a way that kid readers will organically grasp because of the incredible array of emotions used to portray them.'
