The Walled City by Ryan Graudin

4.0

This book follows 3 characters in Kowloon Walled city that was once in Hong Kong. I personally had never heard of this place but I'm now very interested. Jin is a girl pretending to be a boy. She is trying to find her sister that was sold as a sex slave by her abusive father. The sister, Mei Yee, is suffering through the life as a prostitute while helping a boy get information on the gang that runs the brothel. Dai, the boy in Mei Yee's window is the middle ground for both girls. He is trying to redeem himself for a crime that has dishonored his family.

I'm not sure this would be suitable for any child under 16. It does talk about sex slaves, drug use, murder, and gang violence. I loved this book though. 4/5 stars

I received this novel in exchange for an Honest review.
