Powerful. Simple language, short short chapters, but packs a punch. Remember to read the chapter titles, too.

God, this one is painful. But having it written in verse makes it easier to deal with because it doesn't linger too long on the specifics of the abuse the main character faces. However, having taught this book in the high school classroom setting, I truly believe it is one that needs to be read.

YA book about a young girl from Nepal sold into sex slavery. Powerful, moving writing about the horrors of this life. Amazing book, heartbreaking that this story needs to be told.
