help me find this book please. (school set work)

[ratman]

Hi all.
There is a book we did in school (around 15 years ago) as a "set work". I would like to read it again but cannot remember it's name.

I think it's based on a true story about a young Chinese/Korean (Not sure which) boy who is separated from his parents during a war. Basically it is about how he survives etc. I remember him living for a while on little bits of rice and also living on a Chinese "junk" boat. Other than that I cannot remember much.

Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.

Rats.
PS: Great forum by the way.

Umm... I don't know the name of the book... but not too long ago, I couldn't remember the name of a book that I had read in elementary school about 10 years ago, I looked up the school online, found the librarian's e-mail address and e-mailed her what I remembered. Not long after, she e-mailed me with the title! It was great. Perhaps you could try that.
