A Long Walk to Water

In this New York Times bestseller, A Long Walk to Water, readers are taken on a journey through two interwoven stories of two Sudanese children- a girl in 2008 and a boy in 1985. Nya ventures on a two-hour walk twice a day to fetch water while Salva, a lost boy, treks the African continent searching for family and safety. From loneliness to encounters with deadly lions and crocodiles, Salva's journey is one of survival as it eventually intersects with Nya's in a touching and astonishing way.
