Book Review of Sold on a Monday

Sold on a Monday
njmom3 avatar reviewed on + 1376 more book reviews


In 1948, The Vidette-Messanger published a tragic image - four children on the front steps of a home with a sign that read, "4 children for sale. Inquire within." Sold on a Monday by Kristina McMorris takes inspiration from this history and creates a fiction about a similar image - this one picturing two young children. This book really becomes more the story of the reporter, speaking to his guilty conscience but not the broader reaction to his choices. At the end, the book is an interesting story but one that leaves potential unexplored.
