The Lion Above the Door by Rauf Onjali Q

The Lion Above the Door by Rauf Onjali Q

From Onjali Q. Rauf, the award-winning and best-selling author of The Boy at the Back of the Class, comes an incredible story about missing histories and the concept of a universal family, told with humour and heart.

Once an author has attained a degree of shelf space, it seems fair to direct the oxygen of publicity towards lesser-known peersBut a couple of hit authors merit second fanfares. Onjali Q Rauf made a splash with the timely and compassionate 'The Boy At The Back Of The Class' in 2018. Three books later comes 'The Lion Above The Door' (Orion, £7.99) in which intrepid year fours unravel the riddles behind a war memorial in Rochester Cathedral. -- Kitty Empire * The Observer *
A crackingly good story about family and identity, fitting in and having the courage to stand out. -- Marianne Levy * the 'i' newspaper *
