11. Read 50 Books

Sold
by Patricia McCormick

This young adult book opens your eyes to the very sad truth of young Nepalese girls sold into the sex slave business in India.

I finished this book in two days, I couldn't put it down. It's a powerful tale about 13 year old Lakshmi, sold by her step-father into sex slavery. You follow Lakshmi from Nepal to India and into her new life, the friends and discoveries she makes along the way.
I really liked the way the book was written. It's a reminder to be thankful for our good fortunes.

Here's a link to the summary
