When Iqbal is sold into slavery at a carpet factory, his arrival changes everything for the other overworked and abused children there. It is Iqbal that explains to them that despite their master's promises, he plans on keeping them as their slaves indefinitely. But it is also Iqbal that inspires the other children to look for a future free from toil...and is brave enough to show them how to get there.
I am not sure what to say about Iqbal because I haven't read it yet. It looks really interesting though maybe I will read it next. Do you think I should?

Deleteyou should really REALLY read this book its awesome and it is also a real life story really when i started reading this book i thought it was going to be boring but once i got to know what it was about i actually felt sad for those kids hum have been sold for money to be slaved, this is what actually inspired me to help those kids whom are being slaved right now.... and i think this is just the start of it.... iqbal is a great book especially for those people or even children in life who wonder around for hours and HOURS whithout even knowing what to do and that you can even dedicate a milisecond and help them right now from wherever you are....... and right now i dont even know what ro say soi'll just ended up saying that this book is great !!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are enjoying the book Laura. I'm also really please with this entry because you have used some great english phrases, and wrote with a lot of voice. It's a very passionate response. Great work!
DeleteI really think it is a great book, it is interesting and cause with every chapter you read you want to read even more it basically really reals you in likeb a fishing net! This book is about a boy named iqbal. Iqbal is a boy from pakistan he has to pay a fine but his family is poor so he can't pay it so he is sent5 to a sweatshop, and has to work for 3 months as he is there he tells all the other kids that they will never ever leave that its just a trick.... all the other kids think he is crazy but a little girl gets very concerned this little girlsname is Ftima. As time goes by everyone finds out that he is a vry special kind of boy. He is special 'cause he can make a very rare carpet that only a very few people can make. So what im trying to say is that if you get a chance to read this book you should take a look at it cause trust me you wont be Sorry.

ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are enjoying the book thus far, did you know there is another book by the author of this book?
DeleteIqbal is a very inspirational story, hearing Iqbals story shows just how much one small child can achieve. If more children thought the way Iqbal did we would have a very bright future lead by caring individuals.
