"I couldn't seem to look at him straight when I thought of how this -- okay, man---had seen more of me that I'd ever let anyone see, including my doctor. "Have you missed me?" he asked, his hands unbuttoning my shorts and peeling them down."

The Blue Notebook by James A. LevineMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is a story of a 9 year old Indian girl who was sold into prostitution by her parents. What the girl, Batuk, had to go through was terrible and made me very sad for her. Batuk has a terrible life, but she has a blue notebook where she writes stories. It really opens my mind up and made me more aware of what some children have to go through in their everyday lives just to get through day to day. It was a good book, but really makes me wonder how many children actually have to live their lives this way and makes me thankful for my upbringing. I thought I had rough days, but it's nothing compared to what Batuk had to endure.

Teaser:
Kristine gave him an uncomprehending look. He was squeezing her arm so tightly that she started to whimper, she had never seen his strong face display such terror. She followed his gaze and spotted a cluster of trees.
Something lay at the foot of the dark tree trunks.
