About this listen

From Onjali Q. Rauf, the award-winning and best-selling author of The Boy at the Back of the Class, comes another incredible story, told with humour and heart.

Told from the perspective of a bully, this book explores themes of homelessness, while celebrating kindness, friendship and the potential everyone has to change for the good.

Inspired by Onjali's own childhood experiences of growing up in London and seeing the impact of homelessness on those around her, The Night Bus Hero follows an unlikely friendship between our narrator and Thomas - who lives in the park.

Can they get to the bottom of some unusual thefts taking place across the city and discover what it takes to be a real hero?

The Narrator killed this story for me. I’d be hesitant to reader another book read by him.

I have mixed feelings about this book and can’t decide if I like it. It carries a good set of messages but seems very contrived and forced at times. I would use it in the classroom though, as it explores some ideas very effectively: Homelessness, Bullying, Capitalism and making money at the expense of anything.

Terrible Narrator?
