Burning Boats by Zaynab Dawood
Tobay is a small fishing hamlet on a tropical coast which provides a modest though reliable provision for the local villagers. The village has always been a peaceful and safe place for as long as the elders of the community can remember, however life has become disrupted by a power hungry individual, Abbas. Abbas resorts to threats, bribery, and violence, to fulfill his selfish desires to take control of the harbor and the surrounding farmland. The people of the village both old and young rise to this challenge courageously but will their faith, wisdom, and perseverance against all odds be enough to win this battles.
"There are some definite good qualities in the book, despite the holesIt opened up a good discussion between my daughter and I about preparing a body for ghusl and Janaza. It does show that people can change and that when people are sincerely apologetic and are striving to correct their behaviors, those around them should offer forgiveness in not just their words, but in their actions as well. It also shows that good kids can make bad choices, and that the consequences can also be very real. Similarly it shows that adults also don't always know what to do, and that they can be forced to reconsider as well." Islamic School Librarian
