The book that I have resently read is Chu Ju's House. The author is Gloria Whelan. It is one of the NewYork Times best sellers and I definitly agree. The story takes place in modern day China. China is the most populated place in the whole world so therefor if you live in the country ou can only have 2 children and
if you live in the city than you can only have 3 children but however if you were very wealthy and you whanted more than 2 or 3 children than you would have to pay a huge fine. The consequense fo having more children is that they would take your child away. Chu Ju's parents tend to have a boy but they had another girl and they cannot keep he so they desided to give her up for adoption which is something that they really dont whant to do so therefor Chu Ju desides to leave her home and live on her own. Threw out the story she goes threw many tremendos jorney just for the sake of protecting her little sister. It is really amazing. Just imagine leaving home at 13 at living on your own.
