In April 1995, twelve-year-old Craig Kielburger opened the daily paper and began to search for the comics page, as usual. But that day, his morning ritual was interrupted when an article about a boy his own age caught his eye. It was the story of a Pakistani child who, at the age of four, was sold into slavery by his parents. For the next six years, he was shackled to a carpet loom, tying thousands upon thousands of tiny knots, twelve hours a day, six days a week. For this he was paid three cents a day. Amazingly, his will was never broken: he escaped and began efforts to reveal the horrors of child labor. But when this courageous twelve-year-old began to gain international attention, and Pakistani carpet manufacturers began to lose orders, he was shot and killed.That morning, Craig's life was changed forever. To find out more about child labor, he contacted human rights organizations around the world, and with a small band of his friends from school he formed Free the Children - his own human rights organization. Soon Craig decided that he had to see firsthand the working conditions of South Asian children. At the time he was not even allowed to take the subway alone, but he convinced his reluctant parents to let him fly halfway around the world. For seven weeks, in the company of a human rights worker named Alam Rahman, Craig journeyed through the world of slums, sweatshops, and back alleys where so many of the children of South Asia live in servitude, often performing the most menial and dangerous of jobs.In New Delhi and Islamabad he created a sensation - and learned something of the power of the media - when he famously crossed paths with Canada's Prime Minister Jean Chretien, who was touring Asia with the "Team Canada" trade mission. By the time Craig returned home, he and the young people of Free the Children had gained an international profile.… (plus d'informations)

This was by far the best non-fiction book that I have ever read. What I liked best about it was that it was written by a child who was my age. Craig Kielburger is an amazing kid who at 12 years of age first learned about child labour and decided to fly across the world to go learn about child labour in south Asia.
This book tells of his trip to countries like India, Nepal, Pakistan, Thailand and Bangladesh. But this is much more than a travel story. Through reading the book you learn many astonishing and sometimes horrifying facts about the children who have to work sometimes fourteen hours a day. This book is about the children.
It is the best! ( )
