Boys Without Names Kindle Edition

We could not put this book down! For several days, my children went to bed two hours late each night, because once we started "Boys without Names", we could not bear to close it! It took so much longer to get through it because of the discussions that occurred while reading it. This is exactly the kind of legitimate, "human" literature we are searching for, for our children (ages 8-10). My daughter cannot wait to do a presentation on it at school, and I'm passing it on to their teachers, who are also searching for powerful books that are all too rare in elementary classrooms. The author was able to portray the maddening state of being imprisoned without adding explicit violence. We cannot wait to find more books of such caliber as this by Mrs. Sheth. Thank you for revealing some of the experiences happening now to children around the world. There is no force more powerful than children whose eyes and hearts are opened to wanting to create change for the better, and Mrs. Sheth's book serves to open the hearts of her readers to the plight of those suffering. We highly recommend this book!

The theme of this book deals with the horror of child enslavement to provide goods and services to the wealthy. It is shameful that this still exists in the twenty first century. The author brings the reader into the lives of children whose misfortune occurs because they were born to impoverished families. I highly recommend this well written novel. It is only when shame outpaced greed that there can be freedom and justice for all.

Wonderful novel about a boy forced into child labor. He knows he has to get out, but the only way to try is to risk the lives of the other children working with him. Beautiful imagery, filled with tales of ancient India. I love stories within stories.

Thoughtful and well-written book. Every character is so true to life. Coming from Bangladesh I could relate to the plight of poor children who are deprived of a childhood and start working full time from 8 years onwards. No toys or free time for them.

My daughter read for school summer reading. She loved it!

I read this book for as the fall selection for our middle school's local reading program. It was an excellent choice. Unique & well written, it brings the characters to life and makes you care about their situation & root for them to succeed. I especially liked the glossary and additional information about child labor/slavery.

Excellent read. My fifth grade students love this book! It is imperative that young people learn about the world around them. This book, along with A Long Walk to Water, are great opportunities for amazing discussions with your students.

My 10 year old read this book for her Summer Reading challenge. She enjoyed it and had some great insights after.

excellent book

The book explores the child labour issue in India. The writer depicts the problem of child exploitation in metropolitan cities , where poor children from other states are brought to work as labour. Child trafficking, child labour, child exploitation are very common issues in India which the writer tries to highlight in the book.

Great book to go along with my Social Studies unit on child labour!! Will read parts of it with my unit!!

This book was a very interesting read i could hardly put it down, and the book was in great shape too!
