\nCan two children es cape North Korea on their own?
\nNorth Korea. December\, 1950.
\nTwelve-year-old Sora and her family live under an iron set of rules: No travel without a permit. No criticism of the government. No absences from Communist meetings. Wear red. Hang pictures of the Great Leader. Don't tr ust your neighbors. Don't speak your mind. You are being watched.
\nBut war is coming\, war between North and South Korea\, between the Soviet s and the Americans. War causes chaos--and war is the perfect time to esca pe. The plan is simple: Sora and her family will walk hundreds of miles to the South Korean city of Busan from their tiny mountain village. They jus t need to avoid napalm\, frostbite\, border guards\, and enemy soldiers.\n
But they can't. And when an incendiary bombing changes everything\, Sora and her little brother Young will have to get to Busan on their own. Can a twelve-year-old girl and her eight-year-old brother survive three h undred miles of war zone in winter?
