{"product_id":"king-in-hiding-book-fahim-fahim-9781848318281","title":"A King in Hiding","description":"LONGLISTED FOR THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2015        Forced to flee his native Bangladesh, eight year-old chess prodigy Fahim arrived in Paris with his father. Refused asylum, as illegal immigrants they spiralled downwards into homelessness and desperation.          By a stroke of luck, Fahim was introduced to one of France's top chess coaches, Xavier Parmentier, who tutored him and gave him a sense of purpose, his struggles on the chessboard mirroring both his victories and his crushing defeats in his battle for a normal life.         Rising through local and national tournaments to be crowned France's Under-12 Chess Champion in 2012, Fahim became a national sensation. In 2013 he went on to win the World Under-13 Student Championship.          Told through the clear eyes of a child, Fahim's tale is not only a moving account of the grim realities that underlie a supposedly caring society, but also a heartwarming testimony to a father's determination, the kindness of strangers, and one small boy's courageous will to succeed.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49564460187921,"sku":"GOR006687702","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1848318286.jpg?v=1772273033","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/king-in-hiding-book-fahim-fahim-9781848318281","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
