Book Reviews


Speed. Barq the Falcon
by Eman Alblooshi & Judy Wollin

A coming-of-age story about two boys who, although coming from very different cultural backgrounds, bond through their desire to fly falcons. The desert setting and the falconry details give the novel a strong sense of place. The story and dialogue feel believable. It’s genuinely suspenseful and kept my attention throughout.

Goodreads (February 2026) By Suzanne W *****


Speed. The Haunted Island by Eman Alblooshi & Judy Wollin

An exciting cultural story from the perspectives of two young boys. They are keen for adventures and must persuade Ali’s family to trust them with a small fishing boat. They are confident, but are they ready for such a responsibility?
Well written. I enjoyed it.
