A long walk to water / Linda Sue Park


Watch the book trailer!
After an attack on his village by soldiers, Salva spends the next seven years living in refugee camps in Ethiopia, walking to Kenya and, amazingly, ending up in New York. This is the story of his search for his family that takes him many thousands of kilometres around the world, and then his return to Sudan to help his people. This book is based on a true story which is mindboggling when you look at a map of Africa and realise how far it is from Sudan to Kenya.

Who would enjoy this? An inspiring story, simply told, fast and easy to read. Any reader would enjoy this story.
