<p><b>''Ever since I can remember, people have stared at me and my family. </b><br><br><b>Dad tells me it''s because we''re ''special''. </b><br><br><b>But if we''re so special, how come nobody ever looks like us in the books at school? Not even the books about world wars ...''</b><br><br>As the only Singaporean boy not just in his school, but in the tiny English he calls home too, Leo witnesses - and feels - the impacts of racism every day. But on a class trip to a nearby cathedral, Leo''s attention is drawn to a marble slab high above the doors of the hall. Right there, bang in the middle of a list of WWII war heroes, Leo finds himself staring at something incredible: his own name.<br><br> Desperate to know who this other Leo was, and with Sangeeta asking why women are missing from the history books too, the two friends embark on an epic search. <br><br>One that will help uncover missing s/heroes from the past, who each deserve to take their rightful place in the pages of history.<br
