HEART-BREAKING

This book was very heart-breaking for the simple fact that kids 11-15 were being forced to work in sweat shops, without getting payed for it. Just thinking about it gets you angry because you have little kids that can enjoy thier chilhood because of this, its like their whole childhood was taken away. The worst was that if parents were slaves and they had kids, the children would also have to be forced to do the same. The good thing about all this is that they were able to fight for their rights and because of that we do not have anymore slavery.
