Well written story

by AnchorageSchools (WorldCat user published 2010-04-14) Very Good Permalink

Gopal's family flees the country side because they've lost the farm and gone in debt.  Gopal ends up in a child slavery situation making beaded frames for a cruel employer who beats the boys.  Similar in tone to Iqbal and also well written.
