First of all, I thought this book was centered around an interesting topic of children being sold during tough times. Although I have heard of parents having to give up their children to relatives or orphanages for a time, I am not so sure that many children really were sold. This was a book that should have pulled a lot of heart strings but I felt that the characters were lacking development making it difficult to understand their feelings. I think that some deeper historical content might have made it easier for readers to put the story into perspective as well. I found this to be a lightweight read with a satisfying although predictable ending.
