The Other Side of Tomorrow
The graphic novel The Other Side of Tomorrow written by Tina Cho and illustrated by Deb JJ Lee was excellent. In 2013, two North Korean preteens flee their country with the help of the Asian Underground Railroad.
I expected this story to be dark, but not that dark. It was very informative, though, as I rarely encounter information about current life in North Korea. Even in all my Korean textbooks, there's only been one chapter about it.
The art is pretty, with colour schemes reflecting hope or despair.
