Description

Set in modern-day China, this is a mesmerising, powerful story of one young girl's bravery. When her father dies, leaving Lu Si-Yan's family in poverty, her uncle decides to sell her. Lu Si-Yan is 11 and regarded as 'spilled water' - a waste. From her idyllic home in the Chinese countryside to the smog-wrapped factories of the big city, Lu Si-Yan's journey is a difficult one. But she refuses to spend her life in servitude and is determined to be reunited with her beloved mother and brother. Very sad but also uplifting. For ages 10 plus.
