Description
From Newbery medalist Linda Sue Park, an emotional novel based on a true story.
Nya goes to the pond to fetch water for her family. She walks eight hours every day.
Salva walks away from his war-torn village. He is a “lost boy” refugee, destined to cover Africa on foot, searching for his family and safety.
Two young people . . . two stories.
One country: Sudan.
This mesmerizing dual narrative follows two threads—one unfolding in 2008 and one in 1985—with one hopeful message: that even in a troubled country, determined survivors may find the future they are hoping for.
