Recruited by the Goondas, a gang of orphans and street kids, Tina is the only girl trained to become a foot soldier. 14 reviews Ebook 432 Pages familyhome Eligible info 5.99 Ebook Free sample Switch to the audiobook About this ebook arrowforward The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo meets Gone Girl in this.
