A Long Walk to Water: Based on a True StoryA Long Walk to Water: Based on a True Story by Linda Sue Park

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This is the story of two African journeys, one a scary flight from war and death, the other a daily walk to fetch water for the family. The way Park pulls the two stories together makes the book both readable and interesting. A great way for American students to understand some of the controversy surrounding the country of Sudan.
