Sold

     Sold is written by Patricia McCormick. It's about a main character girl named Lakshmi. She is thirteen years old. She lives with her family in a village in Nepal. Lakshmi's gfamily is poor but she isn't sad or depressed about being poor. She lives her life to the fullest. As the say what comes up must come down. And that's what happened to Lakshmi! Being poor isn't as easy in Nepal. In her eyes she sees butterflies and flowers blooming with the nice cool weather. It's really hot in Nepal. The temperatures fluctuate. In Lakshmi's family she has a step father not a biological father. Something's you just don't want to hear!

     Sadly there was a hugde storm. It's called the Himalayan monsoons. It wiped away the family's crops away. Their crops brought the money in. Lakshmi dreams of working with the " rich " people and getting more money for her family. So her stepfather tells her to work for a rich person that he knows. She can get more money and they can afford more. As Lamshi's excitement fills the air, it might as well be her last time with her family. She comes to work and she's sold! For prostitution! All of it was a hudge lie! Everything was scary for Lakshmi. She scared to death. Luckily she made friends that were in the same position as Lakshmi. Do you think she will escape?

   I know nothing yet but the beginning and the end. If  she comes home it will be a beautiful happy   ending for Lakshmi's famliy and her.
