I loved this cover, but it doesn't reflect the photo that the main character Ellis describes taking in the book. Its close though, the idea of children being sold was the reason I wanted to read this book - it's a really interesting premise. The beginning of the book dragged for a bit, and then settled into the story. While I enjoyed it, I wasn't desperate to finish it and figured out the ending (though how they'd get there was a bit more uncertain). The writing was good, I liked the characters, and I liked reading about this time period. The story of Ellis trying to make it as a reporter, women in the newsroom, and the effects of the Great Depression on children were particularly interesting. I recommend it, it's a good fairly quick read.*Received free through NetGalley, opinions are my own*
