This book’s main character is Alissa. The story is as follows: Alissa likes reading and she wants to go to school, but her father is very bad. One day, her father sold Alissa to a man in another city. Her master is very fierce, and her life was hard. Alissa has to work fifteen hours a day, and this women shouted at her every day. A few days later, Alissa was sold to a clothes shop. The shop owner is a bad woman too. One day, Alissa picked up a rich lady’s purse in the shop, and then she returned it. The rich lady thought Alissa is a honest girl. Then Alissa has a nice home.

This book has changed my lifestyle. As I think Alissa is an honest girl and she likes study, I will be like her and value learning. This book tells me 'as long as you are work hard, life will be fine.' I deem this book as best, but I don’t want to recommend this book to my friends because the English level is too easy.
