Sold
Lakshmi must endure the torture of being used for months before she is able to return home. Her life is both devastating and destructive to her future.It is really distressing how a thirteen-year old girl gets sold into prostitution and she has sex with men she doesn’t even know. Lakshmi’s life is very scary. This was an exceptional book because it’s about the controversial issue of prostitution. It gave its readers a glimpse of culture in Nepal, India.
My opinion about this book is to have older students read it, not grammar school students. The issues mentioned are too graphic for immature readers. I would recommend this book for a health class because it focuses around the topic of sex at young age. The book would be good to start discussions and debates about this issue.
