Every Falling Star, the first book to portray contemporary North Korea to a young audience, is the intense memoir of a North Korean boy named Sungju, who is forced at age 12 to live on the streets and fend for himself. To survive, Sungju creates a gang and lives by thieving, fighting, begging, and stealing rides on cargo trains. Sungju richly recreates his scabrous story, depicting what it was like for a boy alone to create a new family with his gang, his "brothers"; to be hungry and to fear arrest, imprisonment, and even execution. This riveting memoir allows young listeners to learn about other cultures where freedoms they take for granted do not exist.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"A pampered son of the elite survives a nightmarish ordeal in this page-turner of a memoir." ( Kirkus)

Les plus pertinents
Despite all the struggles Sungju had to deal with at such a young age, he didn't have to do it alone. It's a story of perseverance, the will to survive and the need for familial bonds. An angel was definitely watching over him throughout his life.

The true bond of friendship and brotherhood
