A Long Walk to Water is based on the remarkable true story of Salva Dut, a young man who was one of the "Lost Boys of Sudan" displaced from Sudan in 1985 during Second Sudanese Civil War.
His story is truly incredible. What a man of strength. We talk about heroes and bravery, well, Salva Dut is a brave hero for sure. But the thing is, I really am not into Linda Sue Park's books. Well, I have only read two, this one and A Single Shard, but I really didn't like A Single Shard and this one I just didn't like either.
But, I did read Bee-bim Bop and it is an awesome picture book. So maybe I just like her picture books! Next I am going to read Project Mulberry, though because I have heard really good things about it. I am going to say that this book is Good for Dudes though, because it IS good for dudes. I mean, here is the story of an incredible man. It was just the second story that was told in alternating chapters that was bad.
