O knihe

From multi-award-winning Ellie Crowe and bestselling children's author Scott Peters comes a gripping story about one refugee's escape from the oppression of North Korea.

14-year-old Dae has been taught that North Korea is the best place in the world. Yet the painfully skinny boy can't help wondering why all his family has to eat is watery porridge made from grass.

At school, Dae and his friends bow before the giant portraits of Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il, their clothes flapping around their bony limbs. Surrounded by poverty, Dae begins to question why the Great Leaders look so well fed.

When Dae's beloved father is hauled away to a hard-labor camp, the orphaned teen must fend for himself. Alone, things turn from bad to worse and Dae dreams of rebellion-of getting past the soldiers and crossing the border into China to look for work. For how else can he help feed his family and pay the bribes to free his father?

But can he survive the deadly crossing?

Does he have what it takes to escape?

Young readers will be transported by this new series about brave kids who face real world challenges and find ways to escape.

Topics include: emigration, immigration, and family values.
