Slave Girls :The Shrinking Girl . Hanna

Oh my goodness , what a tragic read , it brings home the stark reality and depravity at how barbaric these people who take these vulnerable kids off the streets and schools etc to do their evil bidding .
Thank you to the author for bringing these stories to us , and the charities that try to get them away .
A must read for any person who has a young person in their life .

This story will break your heart, told from both Hanna's perspective and her mum Eva's. This should be read by parents, educational staff, those that work with young people and really just everyone. It shows how easily and quickly that county lines can take over a young person's life without them realising what is happening and also worms it's way to infiltrate the whole family. Hanna's story is so traumatic, I had to put it down a few times as all I wanted to do was hug her. Louise has told Hanna's story so well that you are gripped throughout, you don't want to like the story as it is someone's life but it is one that needs to be spoken about.
I have already ordered a copy for my work colleague as I spoke about it so much. I will now read the first book in the Slave Girls series and look out for the 3rd one.

A sad, shocking tale, and a fast-moving page turner.

This latest book in Louise Allen's new series tells Hanna's story. She's just 13 years old at the start of the book. The family have hard times; poverty.

The book was awful, upsetting, yet gripping at the same time. Such a hard subject to deal with, but Louise Allen writes about it so well.

Things aren't what they seem. What you think is happening isn't...or is it? But what you think isn't happening probably is. A very good book. I liked this even better than the previous in the series.

Builds to dark and brutal circumstances. A very good, but very difficult read.
