Boys Without Names by K.Sheth

In BOYS WITHOUT NAMES, author Kashmira Sheth takes readers into the world of child labor and exposes the unbearable conditions and horrors suffered by millions of children around the world.

"Stories about happy elves, magical palaces, and pink ponies are getting kind of boring, right? Why not try something different? Boys Without Names by Kashmira
Seth, is sad and heart touching because of the tragic and depressing events that the characters must go through. The part that made my heart drop is when the main character, Gopal, must work as a slave in a factory with 4 other boys.
Gopal is a determined 11 year old boy who never imagined a life like this. As you read, you will learn the true meaning of friendship and collaboration. This book is something different and truly engaging. Can Gopal free himself and the others? Find out in Boys Without Names."

This book is Awesome. In a short summary It is about a boy who is captured and he is forced to work for the most terrible boss ever. This book shows how words have power too and what the power of friendship can do. This book almost made me cry I think you would love it.

I like the book but there is sad parts and not much funny stuff. I think Scar is very evil/ not nice. But the most sad part for me was when Gopal got hit four times and started bleeding but the best part is when Gopal wrote on the roupee and gave it to the Sweets-Man and the part when the police come and find the children and bring Gopal back home.

The book opened my eyes to see that child labor existed almost everywhere in the world, even in America. The part I like the most is when Gopal had gotten the Indian sweets and shared them with the others.

Bye-bye fellow Book-Clubbers, I had to join another club to help in a competition :(.
Also about the book. This book had many feelings in it, anger, happiness, sadness etc.
This is why I like this book it had given me mixed feelings and it was like I was listening to the characters telling stories and being forced to work for Scar.
Bye-bye Book-Club :(.
Sad is me.
Dang... it's hard to say bye.
Bye :(.
