Reviews

[Jackie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read this book in the 5th grade, and it has stuck with me ever since. I don't know why, but I remember finding it so intriguing. This idea of two countries, once unified, and now so split, really opened my young mind to the history of Korea and the now divided world we live in. Great book for young readers interested in history, mystery, or espionage.
