I would appreciate a review for I Escaped North Korea! by Ellie Crowe and Scott Peters, just published. If you enjoy survival stories based on fact, you'll love this book!
From multi-award-winning writer Ellie Crowe and bestselling children’s author Scott Peters comes a gripping survival story about a young refugee's escape from North Korea.
14-year-old Dae has been taught that his country's leaders are like gods and that their country is the best in the world. Yet all his family has to eat is watery porridge made from grass. At school, Dae and his friends bow before the leaders' giant portraits, their clothes flapping around their bony limbs. Dae begins to question why their rulers look so well fed.
When Dae's father is hauled away, he's left to fend for himself. The young teen dreams of saving his father. If he can cross the border into China, maybe he can earn enough money to bribe the jailors. But can he make it past the deadly border guards and high fences?
Does he have what it takes to escape? Please let me know if interested in reviewing and I'll send you a copy. Best wishes Ellie
