Review: "Sold on a Monday" by Kristina McMorris

A heartbreaking picture, innocently snapped by newspaper reporter Ellis Reed, brings about changes to lives he never meant to put in motion. This story follows his search as he endeavors to track down the children to ensure that their station in life has improved. The plot twists and turns and keeps you turning pages for more.

The novel revolves around two main characters that are very humane and well rounded. You understand what has brought them to this place in life and why they make the decisions they do. The storyline is also many faceted. There are many story threads that are woven together to create a thought provoking novel. Just when you think you understand what is going to happen, it twists and heads in another direction.

I enjoyed this novel and highly recommend it. Although it is a fictional story it is built around a real picture that was taken. It shows how the best of intentions sometimes brings about unexpected results. This story can be read teen to adult readers. If you liked The Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline, you will want to read this book.
