Monsieur Ibrahim and the Flowers of the Koran

Mr Ibrahim is the story of an old Arab shop-keeper and a young Jewish boy who goes to his shop to steal tins of food. The boy, Momo is soon disconcerted to find that Mr Ibrahim is not quite what he seems. In fact he appears to be able to know what Momo is thinking. Which almost certainly means that he knows that Momo has been stealing from him. Then Mr Ibrahim further confounds him by making him promise that he wont steal from any other shop but his. Soon the two of them develop unlikely an friendship and together they embark on a series of adventures.
