Review from Miranda, aged 11

“As soon as I started reading “One Son is Enough” I couldn’t put it down!...
The story made me think a lot about how difficult life can be in some places and for some people. A couple of weeks before I read this I had a new baby sister which made me feel how terrible it would be for there to be a law which meant she would be taken away because there is already a girl in our family. I really felt that I was in the book and inside each boy as their story is told. My heart sank when things went wrong and I was desperate for them to be reunited.
I found it an inspiring read and would recommend it for children 8+ and adults alike - my dad is half way through!”
