A Long Walk to Water

Based on a True Story : a Novel
Jun 16, 2020
This story takes place in Sudan and follows the journey of two young people. One girl,
 Nya who spends most of her day trying to find water and a young boy, Slava who is fleeing the country to save their lives. The ending is sweet in which the Salva, who is significantly older, helps Nya and her family. Reading about their troubles make you feel fortunate for the small things in life, like a drink of clean water. It is also an inspiring story that makes you want to help people like Salva does later In his life. Their struggles are even more tear-jerking when you realize this is a true story. I first read this book at age 9 and I do not think I was too young. The story did not scare me but rather made me realize how fortunate we truly are.
