Lakshmi, thirteen, lives in the mountains of Nepal, tending her cucumber plants and daydreaming with her mother about a tin roof for their hut. But after monsoons destroy the family's crop, her stepfather sends her away to earn money. Lakshmi believes she will work as a maid in the city; instead, she ends up in a foreign country, in a house full of girls-"young ones dressed to look old, and old ones dressed to look young." Powerless and alone, Lakshmi realizes that something is terribly wrong. Author's note. A 2006 National Book Award Finalist.
