Summary:

Fourteen year-old Dae has been taught that his country's fearless leaders are like gods. Yet the painfully skinny boy can't help wondering if something is off, because all his family has to eat is watery porridge made from grass. Dae begins to dream of rebellion - of fleeing across the forbidden border into China to look for work. But can he survive the deadly crossing? Does he have what it takes to escape?
