"When Muhammad gets a special salat rug on his seventh birthday, he is determined to do all five daily prayers on time. But one salat occurs during the school day--and he's worried about being seen praying at school. His father parks his truck to worship in public places, and people stare at him and mock him. Will the same thing happen to Muhammad? From two powerhouse creators comes an empowering story about an important part of Islamic faith that many Muslim children cherish but might be scared to share."--Provided by publisher.

A throw rug delivered to Amanda's house flies to the roof with her upon it and leaves her stranded.

While sailing to the colonies with her father, eleven-year-old Sarah is swept overboard during a pirate raid, washing up on a strange island where kidnapped children called "Woolies" are forced to weave fantastical rugs by the evil Mr. Grim, and those who anger him are cast out to live underground as "Worms.".

The death of her father leads a teenage girl in seventeenth-century Iran to go live with her mother as a servant in the home of her uncle, a wealthy rug designer in the court of the Shah, where she is able to develop her talent for rug design--a skill that becomes vital to her survival after her lack of a dowry forces her into a contract marriage, renewable every three months, with the son of a horse trader.
