(2) 4-6 Translated by Ann Leonori. The virtually enslaved children toiling in Hussain Khan's carpet factory allow themselves to hope when a new child laborer arrives: he plans to liberate them all. This is a fictionalized account of a period in the life of Iqbal Masih, murdered by the Pakistani "carpet mafia" in 1995, when he was thirteen. An abundance of dialogue, well-observed details, and nimble characterizations make the children's solidarity wonderfully particular.
