Description

[Machine Translation] Under a huge mango tree in the prison yard, watching the city lights, is a boy named Pong. By law, he cannot leave prison until the day he turns 13. What has he done wrong? No, just that he was "born in prison. Pong believed that freedom was waiting for him under that light. But Pong knows now that he will never truly be free, even after he leaves here at the age of 13. Meanwhile, Nok, the warden's "perfect daughter," pursues the escaped convict to defend her father's honor. For Nok, obeying the law is absolute, and Pong should be caught again, punished, and spend the rest of her life in prison. But the outside world reveals a truth to Pon, and to Nock, that he never expected. A moving fantasy that was nominated for the Newbery Award!
