"SOLD"

My book is basically the story of a young girl named Lakshimi. Lakshimi lives in Nepal, with her loving mother and evil stepfather. Her family is struggling to survive. After the Himalayan monsoons wash away all of their crops, Lakshimi's stepfather says she has to leave home to get a job and help their family. She soon finds out she has been sold into prostitution by her stepfather, which her mother did not know about. She is trapped their until she can pay her families debt.

The one thing I like about this book is that it is very realisitc. Also how the book is told, it is told in little chapters.

Little chapters are great. They give you quick rewards. Why do you think the author decided to use short chapters?
