In this sequel to A Boy Is Not a Bird, Natt finds himself torn from his home in Eastern Europe and stranded with other deportees in a schoolyard in Novosibirsk. And he is about to discover that life can indeed get worse than the horrific two months he and his mother have spent on a bug-infested livestock train. Every day is a struggle for survival. Then, when his mother is falsely arrested for stealing potatoes, Natt must learn how to live the life of an exile on his own. To become as invisible as a ghost. To change his name and identity when necessary, watch for spies - and never, ever draw the attention of the authorities.

Here are images of Siberia that match some of Natt's experiences in A Boy Is Not a Ghost.
