Alternate title:
True story of how I survived and escaped North Korea
Description:
xv, 314 p. ; 22 cm.
Summary:
"Every Falling Star, the first book to portray contemporary North Korea to a young audience, is the intense memoir of a North Korean boy named
Sungju
who is forced at age twelve to live on the streets and fend for himself. To survive,
Sungju
creates a gang and lives by thieving, fighting, begging, and stealing rides on cargo trains.
Sungju
richly re-creates his scabrous story, depicting what it was like for a boy alone to create a new
family
with his gang, his 'brothers'; to be hungry and to fear arrest, imprisonment, and even execution. This riveting memoir allows young readers to learn about other cultures where freedoms they take for granted do not exist"--From publisher.
