About the Book

Yosef, a motherless sixteen-year-old, is a rug weaver at a carpet looming factory. It's a hard life for all rug weavers forced into indentured servitude, but especially bad for Yosef; a rebel among his peers, he stands up to the deplorable child labor conditions. After witnessing ten-year-old Daud mercilessly beaten by the factory manager, Yosef plots a daring escape and lands in the chaotic streets of Lahore with Daud, where even greater hardship awaits. With growing concerns over street urchins disappearing at an alarming rate, Jugni─a transgender teenager who acts as the leader to many runaways─rescues Yosef from a rival gang and an unparalleled bond between them develops. When one-hundred children, including Daud, vanish and a confession letter arrives at a police station detailing the tragic fate of the victims, Yosef realizes urchins like him are being hunted. Filled with rage for losing Daud and with a keen survival instinct, Yosef and Jugni form an unlikely alliance with a common enemy to do the unthinkable: they must find a way to get to the man responsible for the disappearances of the one hundred street urchins before he eludes the law.This Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award quarterfinalist, based on a true story, takes readers deep into the historical streets of Lahore, Pakistan. It is a remarkable tale of rage and betrayal, where friendship and loyalty overcome incredible odds.The One Hundred tells a profound story of family and love against the background of a true event that has not been told in fiction before. But just as it is simplistic in its narration, its dark and complicated characters depict a modern-day story in a most realistic setting. As intense as it is affectionate, The One Hundred is truly a compelling debut.ABNA Publishers Weekly Reviewer"[This] is a promising novel with compelling characters stories. The author excels at depicting the daily hardship of life in Pakistan."-Publishers WeeklyAmazon Breakthrough Novel Award ReviewsABNA Expert Reviewer #1Wow!!! Great work. I felt much empathy for both boys. Additionally, the location, so foreign to Americans, is fascinating, exotic. Excellent. I bought in from the very beginning to the two boys. I wanted to know what was going to happen to them and what happened in the prologue. I could feel the tempo in his writing style that evokes the Pakistani language cadence. The English was perfect but it had that lilt unique to that region of the world. Would love to read this book. 5 stars all the way.ABNA Expert Reviewer #2 I was impressed with the author's mastery of the slow pace working through here; this is not boring writing at all, but it knows what it's doing and how it's going to do it, and it demands the reader slow down and reflect on what's going on. It's also one of those books that makes me go look stuff up on Google Maps, and I like that a great deal, though I may be in the minority on that. This is good stuff indeed, well-written and deliberate without being boring.
