A Long Walk to Water” by Linda Sue Park tells two interconnected stories set in Sudan. One follows Nya, a young girl who walks hours daily to fetch water for her family. The other focuses on Salva, a boy who becomes a ‘Lost Boy’ after fleeing civil war. Their journeys highlight the harsh realities of survival, resilience, and the impact of water scarcity. As the narratives converge, they emphasize the importance of hope, determination, and the ability to overcome adversity. The book sheds light on the challenges faced by those affected by conflict and the transformative power of access to clean water.
