5/29/2023 0 Comments Sold mccormick novel book review![]() Apne Aap (which means self-help in Hindi) is a community-based initiative that began in the red light area of Mumbai in 1998. Inspired in part by Sold, in 2007 a BookBrowse member went to visit the Apne-Aap center in Koltata. I would give it five stars out of five because it was just amazing, fascinating and extremely interesting. The Discussion guide for this book follows the letter below. It is an easy read and really worth reading. This book takes its reader on a roller-coaster of emotions from happiness to sadness, from shock to relief. I would recommend anyone to read this book because it really opened my eyes and made me more aware of what atrocities were happening in the outside world. I especially liked reading about Malala's recovery (although reading about a piece of her skull being placed in her stomach was a shock) and how far she has come in life, it is truly inspiring and it makes the reader question themselves and think about what they can do to help as well. Lakshmi lives with her mother and stepfather in a rural mountain village in Nepal. Its rather unbelievable when we think about it, how such important people barely do anything to help others yet one teenage girl can do so much. Sold is a young adult novel by Patricia McCormick and details 13-year-old Lakshmi’s experiences after being sold into sexual slavery by her stepfather. Although I have heard about what had happened to Malala, when I was reading this book it felt as though it was the first time I was hearing all of it and it shocked me more than ever. I love how the atmosphere and mood changes in the book it is like a novel, not a true story. ![]() The book starts off by talking about Malala's childhood and how everything was normal and how happy her life was until the Taliban showed up. ![]()
