But in his hometown, the military has just taken power, and amid a climate of increasing fear and intimidation, people begin to disappear without trace. When his mother unexpectedly takes him and his younger brother away from school, she tells them they're going on an impromptu family trip. But he soon realises that this will be no holiday: his parents are known supporters of the opposition, and they are going into hiding. Holed up in a safe-house in the remote hills outside the city, the family assumes new identities. The boy names himself Harry after his hero Houdini, and as the uncertain world around him descends into chaos, he spends his days of exile learning the secrets of escape."-Provided by publisher.
