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 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. 521 $a Age 13+ 600 10 $a Lee, Sungju $x Childhood and youth $v Juvenile literature. 600 10 $a Lee, Sungju $x Family $v Juvenile literature. 600 11 $a Lee, Sungju $x Childhood and youth. 600 11 $a Lee, Sungju $x Family. 650 0 $a Boys $z Korea (North) $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Homeless boys $z Korea (North) $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Street children $z Korea (North) $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Survival $z Korea (North) $v Juvenile literature. 650 4 $a JUVENILE NONFICTION / Social Issues / Homelessness & Poverty. 650 4 $a Boys. 650 4 $a JUVENILE NONFICTION / Biography & Autobiography / Cultural Heritage. 650 4 $a JUVENILE NONFICTION / Biography & Autobiography / Political. 650 4 $a JUVENILE NONFICTION / People & Places / Asia. 651 0 $a Korea (North) $x History $y 1994-2011 $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 651 0 $a Korea (North) $x Social conditions $v Juvenile literature. 651 4 $a Korea (North) $x History $y 1994-2011 $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 651 4 $a Korea (North) $x Social conditions $v Juvenile literature. 651 4 $a Korea (North) $x History $y 1994-2011. 651 4 $a Korea (North) $x Social conditions. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a McClelland, Susan, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20170802011536.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=208F837E774811E7923FA1BEDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
