There are some books that make me realize just how good my life is. This one makes me grateful for my country, my family, and my freedom, in a way that I can’t even put into words. Iqbal Masih is a hero. Not only did he survive a horrendous experience, but he took action. He was just a kid, and he was willingly risking his life to save others. He paid for his cause with his life. This child martyr deserves to have his story be told, for the children that he worked so desperately to free. This story should be passed along because Americans should be aware of the way some children are treated in other countries. We sometimes forget that all children aren’t privy to the traditional American lifestyle, and that even the poorest of children here are better off than those in other countries. This is the one non-fiction book that I believe everyone should read. It’s short. It’s powerful. It’s worth it. Read it.
