About this listen

First published as a 2020 World Book Day Book, The Day We Met the Queen continues the story from Onjali Rauf's award-winning The Boy at the Back of the Class as Ahmet and his friends visit the queen at Buckingham Palace.

10-year-old Ahmet has become the Most Famous Refugee Boy in the World.

In fact, he's so famous even the queen wants to meet him - and his four best friends! So they're off to Buckingham Palace, with a list of questions for her and one special challenge: will she help more refugee children like Ahmet?

But when their journey is unexpectedly interrupted by an old enemy, it will take some quick thinking and an ingenious plan to make it to the palace - and the queen - on time.

Celebrate friendship and the power to make a difference, whatever your age or size.

What stood out most for me was how everything is explained well

It brings excitement and joy when you listen to it but some times it is hard to understand what the reader is saying

The good description

I loved how good the expressions were but I thought there was a few breaks in there that weren’t meant to be there

This book is thought provoking

The book is so sad at the beginning because Ahmet's assembly is important to him but doesn't go as planned. People are unkind to him because he is a refugee. It makes me wonder how much of this is going on in real life and to look out for others and to be kind and considerate towards people, especially when they re going through tough times.

The amazing detail and care taken and the lesson of kindness taught within it.

I Personally enjoyed everything about this book. It was amazingly read and everything and it made so much sense and came together though you have to read the first book before you read this one.
