To survive, Sungju creates a gang and lives by thieving, fighting, begging, and stealing rides on cargo trains. <p/> 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 daily be hungry and to fear arrest, imprisonment, and even execution. This riveting memoir allows young readers to learn about other cultures where freedoms they take for granted do not exist. <br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Sungju Lee</b> speaks across Europe, Asia, and North America about his experiences and about North Korean political social issues. He lives in South Korea. <p/><b>Susan Elizabeth McClelland</b>'s first book, <i>Bite of the Mango</i>, was a worldwide sensation, published in more than 30 countries. She lives in Toronto, Canada. <br>
