Reviews
Set in Baghdad in the Islamic Golden Age circa AD 900, the book gives a good background to the National Curriculum studies. This exciting and atmospheric adventure is the story of Jabir, who hopes to save his family from being made homeless by finding work himself in Baghdad. * Parents in Touch *
... it's a great introduction to the Islamic Golden Age, to the sights and scents of Baghdad's streets and workshops, and the perils of the desert which surround it, but, with vivid story-telling and characters that children can relate to, it's easy to forget that this is part of a history lesson. * Our Book Reviews Online *
