More Details

Summary:

This 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. Sungju tells what it was like to be separated from his parents; to be alone; to have to create a new family with his gang; his "brothers"; to be hungry every day; and to fear arrest, imprisonment, and even execution.
