From multi-award-winning writer Ellie Crowe and bestselling author Scott Peters comes the first in a new series about incredible kids who use their bravery and smarts to survive!
14-year-old Dae never dreamed a North Korean border guard would be shooting at him and yelling at him to halt.
At school, Dae has always been told that North Korea is the best country on earth and that his leaders are like gods. Yet all his family has to eat is watery porridge made from grass. At least he has his parents to keep him safe around their cozy fire while the winter winds shake their tiny house. Little does Dae know he’s about to be thrown out in the cold—literally—for when the military police decide to flex their muscle, Dae’s family falls in their crosshairs and everything changes.
Now with his family scattered, Dae is on the run, alone. If he doesn’t get out of North Korea and find help, he knows he’ll never see his parents again. He tries to make a break across the frozen river as the ice cracks under his feet and armed men close in. But with the world’s deadliest border standing between him and his family’s safety, does he have what it takes to escape?
