A Long Walk to Water

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: 5 of 5 stars

Although the subject matter is heart-wrenching, there are so many things I love about A Long Walk to Water. Linda Sue Park does an excellent job of switching between two narratives to tell the complete story of the Sudan and the lost boys. I think students will be moved by this tragic and inspiring story. I especially love reading the notes at the end about Park's relationship with Salva and how this book came to be. I'm so glad it has gained popularity again in recent months since I had not heard of it until this summer.
