YEONG-DAE IS A YOUNG BOY WHO HAS TO BEG ON THE STREETS AS A KKOTJEBI JUST TO SURVIVE.
HE CROSSES THE TUMEN RIVER TO FIND HIS SISTER, HIS ONLY SURVIVING FAMILY.
As North Korea undergoes a devastating famine, Yeong-dae loses both his parents and is forced to beg on the streets. Soon, this young boy sets off on a desperate journey to China to find his sister?his last living family member. Captured by the authorities, he is sent back to the North, where he is thrown in jail and tortured. Once he is finally released, he crosses the Tumen River again, more determined than ever to find a place where he can live a decent life. This inspiring tale offers a glimpse into the horrors faced by North Korean children?and their indomitable will to survive.
“When I started reading this book, I found myself amazed that the author seemed to understand North Korean society even better than me?and I used to live there! I was sucked into the story, and it felt less like reading a novel and more like reliving my childhood and escape from North Korea. Around 25,000 North Koreans have defected to the South as of 2013, and it seemed like the heartbreaking tale of each defector was distilled into this story.” - Kim Young-il, president of PSCORE
출판사 서평
PRAISE FOR THE KOREAN EDITION OF THIS BOOK
대한출판문화협회 “올해의 청소년 도서” 선정
Selected as “Young Adult Book of the Year” by the Korean Publishers Association
학교도서관저널 (추천 도서 선정)
Selected as a “Recommended Book” by the School Library Journal
“Yeong-dae’s story blends reportage and children’s fiction, giving readers a fresh understanding of life in North Korea and the history of North and South Korea. The well-crafted plot and the breathless narrative flow will engage young readers, too.” - School Library Journal
“Across the Tumen is a historical children’s novel that vividly represents the difficult lives of North Korean children. Young readers may find themselves hoping that North Korean children can enjoy the same freedom as their counterparts in the South and that North and South Korea will be reunited before long. This is the powerful message that this children’s story hopes to communicate to readers.” - Kids’ Hankook Ilbo
“An accurate depiction of the human rights situation for North Korean children—describing how a North Korean boy becomes a kkotjebi, is thrown in prison, and eventually gains his freedom.” - Gi Su-jeong, Aju News
“The novel follows the tumultuous story of Yeong-dae and describes the horrors that he experiences at a young age. . . In various places in the book, one is struck by the power of love to remain strong amid a famine.” - Baek Na-ri, Yonhap News
“When writing Across the Tumen, Moon gathered information by reading accounts written by North Korean defectors and meeting with North Korean writers. This allowed her to write a novel that could easily be a true story.” -Kim Ji-eun, Ulsan Daily
“A realistic description of how an ordinary boy becomes a kkotjebi and risks his life to cross the Tumen River into China.” -Kids’ Chosun Ilbo
