The Blue Eye is a 2001 children's adventure book by author Roderick Hunt and illustrator Alex Brychta that is part of the Oxford Reading Tree series.

The book depicts the travels of two children, Biff and Wilf, in an unnamed Middle Eastern country as they help the princess Aisha regain a valuable stone called the Blue Eye.

In March 2022, The Blue Eye was withdrawn from sale by its publisher Oxford University Press following criticism and accusations of Islamophobia on social media.

The Blue Eye is part of Oxford Reading Tree, a series of hundreds of children's books by author Roderick Hunt and illustrator Alex Brychta.

[1][6] The Spectator noted that Biff and Wilf receive a warm welcome in Princess Aisha's kingdom from people also wearing Islamic clothing, arguing that the children "have simply stumbled on a town that isn’t particularly friendly.

"[8] In April 2022, Oxford University Press said that it had taken The Blue Eye out of print the previous month after an "independent review", destroying its remaining stock.

OUP added that it would continually work to "remove any products that are no longer appropriate" and revise its list of titles to be "diverse, inclusive and reflective of the world we live in".

[2][5] The Telegraph reported that Brychta was "profoundly upset" by the allegations of Islamophobia, stating that he was married to a Muslim woman of Iraqi origin and that he made regular trips to the Middle East to give book readings to children.
