A Long Walk to Water
About This Book
The New York Times bestseller *A Long Walk to Water* begins as two stories, told in alternating sections, about two eleven-year-olds in Sudan, a girl in 2008 (Nya) and a boy in 1985 (Salva). Nya is fetching water from a pond that is two hours' walk from her home, making two trips daily. Salva becomes one of the 'lost boys' of Sudan, refugees traversing the African continent on foot searching for their families and a safe place to stay. Enduring hardships from loneliness to attacks by armed rebels, and encounters with killer lions and crocodiles, Salva's story intersect with Nya's in an astonishing and moving way.
