The story of the ‘House of Wisdom’, alongside that of the heroic Florinda and the villainous King Roderick, makes up much of this modern retelling of a classic tale. The power struggle and battle that ensures not only establishes the course of the story but the course of Islamic history. Burning Boats is aimed at children and teenagers, with its gripping narrative and colourful illustrations, which capture the essence of the time. When reading Burning Boats young readers will be drawn to Florinda, the novel’s teenage protagonist, with her strong, clever and impassioned character. Set in a time when the Islamic world is on the cusp of its golden age, spreading humanitarianism, tolerance, education, arts and science, the book provides children with a positive image of Islam and a glimpse into its illustrious past. It also displays a sense of unity and peace between the Abrahamic religions in the face of tyranny, which has never been more important than in today’s multi-cultural society.
