Can two children escape North
Korea on their own?
Korea on their own?
North Korea. December, 1950.
Twelve-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 trust your neighbors. Don’t speak your
mind. You are being watched.

Hang pictures of the Great Leader. Don’t trust your neighbors. Don’t speak your

But war is coming, war between
North and South Korea, between the Soviets and the Americans. War causes
chaos–and war is the perfect time to escape. 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 just need to avoid napalm, frostbite, border
guards, and enemy soldiers.

But they can’t. And when an

have to get to Busan on their own. Can a twelve-year-old girl and her
eight-year-old brother survive three hundred miles of warzone in winter?
