    About this ebook

    In December of 1994, twelve-year-old Iqbal Masih was honored as a hero. Just two years earlier, he had been a slave, condemned to a lifetime of bonded labor in a Pakistani carpet factory. And five months later, he was dead, murdered in his homeland. Though he is gone, his actions inspired an international campaign of middle-school students and adults that is helping to free and to educate thousands of child laborers. Here is the powerful story of Iqbal's life and death in Pakistan, and of the movement that continues the struggle against child labor today.

    This book does more than recount Iqbal's own amazing odyssey. Both sobering and inspiring, it shows how we are all implicated in the global practice of child labor, and how we can all work together to end it.

      Iqbal Masih lived a short life, but accomplished more than most people. He started off as a child slave in Pakistan and journey across the world to tell his story. His life has an abrupt ending, but his story lives on. My favorite part of the book is what some students do after Masih's death to honor him. This nonfiction volume does more than detail child slavery, it teaches readers that they can change the world no matter how old they are.Susan Kuklin has indexed her book well, which makes it easy to use in classrooms. She also has included a bibliography and an excellent "Where to Learn More" section. This section makes it easy for readers to get involved with Masih's cause.
