(4) YA With Lisa Wysocky. This memoir focuses on modern child-slavery smuggling. Native Egyptian Hall (born Shyima Hassan) recounts how her poor family sold her at the age of eight to a family who then moved to the United States, where she was fortunate enough to be rescued by child services. Although dry and sometimes uneven, this is an important, moving story of a disturbing worldwide issue.
