Two stories, set in two different time periods, about life and war in Sudan. A great introduction to Sudan's history for a younger reader. Based on a true story.

This was an interesting read. Although a short and simple story, it was very thought provoking and inspirational. I would recommend this book to young and old readers alike.

The story of two young people in Sudan, one among the many ‘lost boys’ and another a young girl in more recent times. Amazing story; all need to read.

You will not finish 'A Long walk to Water' without tears. This should be required reading for every American student to learn appreciation, persistence and gratitude.

I absolutely loved it. I cried, I laughed, and I felt for both Nya and Salva. I recommend it for kids 8 and over because of the violence. Linda explained the story that made you feel like they were your family. I will never get sick of…

The terror of a forced swim across a crocodile infested river, the horror of seeing a family member shot, feeling forgotten in a refugee camp, drinking water that may sicken you, walking across a country barefoot with nothing – a sampling…

This is the dual narrative of both Nya who lives in modern Sudan, and Salva who is from the past. Both struggling to survive in a world rigged against them, the two stories clash and really makes the reader feel as if they have been sucked…

A Long Walk to Water is a book that would touch anybody's heart. The vocabulary and difficulty level about 5th grade, but the story is one for all ages.
