Opis

15-year-old Roza thinks she's leaving Albania for better things in the UK. However, when she arrives, she realizes this is a lie. Her father has sold her to get out of debt. The Braka family now consider her their property. They work her hard, beat and starve her, and refuse to let her go out. But she must tell people they are her parents. When she runs to the police, her captors show them a forged birth certificate. She is dismissed as attention-seeking and returned to them for punishment. She doesn't think life can get much worse. But when she tries to escape, she's sent to a holding house full of other enslaved girls. A fast-paced YA thriller about child trafficking. It appears to be the first of its kind. It should appeal to fans of Miriam Halahmy, Anne Cassidy, and Laurie Halse Anderson.
