sumayyah asked Jennifer A. Nielsen:

After reading A Night Divided about a year ago, one thought really stuck to me 'Could someone make a book like this about North Korea?'. I'm sure you know that currently Korea is divided right now, kind of like Berlin, Germany. Do you think it would be possible (maybe not for you) for someone to make a book about a kid's struggle in North Korea? I would so look forward to a book like this. P.S I love your writing.

Jennifer A. Nielsen Hi Sumayyah, thank you for the compliment and the question. I've thought a lot about this same idea for North Korea, and I feel so much concern for the people living there. If enough research could be done to give the book an authentic feel, it would be an interesting story to tell!
