Every Falling Star: The True Story of How I Survived and Escaped North Korea

314 pp. | Abrams/Amulet | September, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4197-2132-8 $16.95 | Ebook ISBN 978-1-61312-340-9
(4) YA This is the harrowing story of a boy whose father ran afoul of the North Korean government, resulting in the once-privileged family's banishment during a famine. When Sungju's parents disappear while searching for food, he must survive on the streets. Not many details of children's lives in North Korea have reached us, making this memoir an important, if stiffly written, contribution. Glos.
