A Long Walk to Water
a novel by Linda Sue Park
Two stories run side by side across the same stretch of southern Sudan, twenty-three years apart: in 2008, a girl named Nya spends her days walking hours to a pond and back so her family has water, while in 1985 an eleven-year-old boy named Salva runs from the gunfire that shatters his school day and becomes one of thousands of “lost boys” walking across Africa toward safety. Based on the true story of Salva Dut, Linda Sue Park (author) follows him through deserts, rivers, and years of refugee camps, sustained by one uncle’s advice to take the walk one step at a time — until the two stories finally meet. These 8 Part workbooks cover the full novel, with vocabulary, comprehension, literary analysis, Think Deeper reasoning, SAT & TOEFL-style practice, and writing, all built on real-world CLIL background.
