A Long Walk to Water

A Long Walk to Water

Have you ever had to walk 6 miles to get one jug of bad water?  

The book that I read is called A Long Walk To Water by Linda Sue Park. That book

is the most attention grabbing book I have ever read.  

A Long Walk To Water is about two people that go through many real world problems in

Sudan. This book is a nonfiction story about life in Sudan. One of the people in the book

is a boy named Salva that has to abandon his home and go away from the war. Another is

a girl named Nya. She has a pond near her home but the pond dried up and she and her

family have to move to a camp next to a lake. If you want to know what comes next,

read the book, A Long Walk To Water.

I like this book  because once you get into the real life action it makes your heart

seem to beat faster than the speed of light, and in certain parts it will make you shed

a tear of happiness and sadness. Another reason why I like this book is because it is

the best combination of action and peace. I will give you evidence on why I like the book.

In the beginning of the book, Salva goes to school and in class they hear gunshots. At that point Salva said that he could hear his heart beating. Next,  in a different part of of Sudan, Nya and her family were walking along going to the “water camp.” Their family  did this every year in the dry season, but something different will happen this year…...      

      

I think you should really read this book if you like real-life action. Also if you like books that touch your heart this is also the book for you. If you like both, even better! If I were to rate this book 1-5 stars, I would give it a full 5 stars! I really hope you will take the time to read this book.
