New forthcoming middle grade lyrical graphic novel by me and Deb JJ Lee published by Harper Alley 11/12/24
In a nutshell: Two North Korean kids escape through the Asian Underground Railroad. Yes, it really exists!
I interviewed many people for this story and did a lot of research.
I started writing this story in 2012 in Deokso, South Korea. The 1st draft even won a Scholastic Asia award! Since then it's morphed into different formats, structures, and even different titles.

I'm thankful for my agent and editor who had a vision for this story and that Deb JJ Lee took it to the next level with rich, flowing, and accurate illustrations.
Then in 2019 I met Mr. John Schu at the Iowa Library Associations conference. Never did I think he'd be doing the cover reveal for my novel! You can read his interview here: https://mrschureads.blogspot.com/2024/03/the-other-side-of-tomorrow-by-tina-cho.html
You can preorder it here: or wherever books are sold.
Now we wait until next November!
