  • "Home for just long enough to eat, Nya makes her second trip to the pond. To the pond and back - to the pond and back - nearly a full day of walking altogether. This is Nya's routine seven months a year... Salva runs until he cannot run anymore. Then he walks. For hours, until the sun is nearly gone from the sky. As he walks, the same thoughts keep going through his head in rhythm with his steps. Where are we going? Where is my family? When will I see them again? This mesmerizing dual narrative by Newbery medallist Linda Sue Park shows us that in a troubled country, determined survivors may find the future they are hoping for."

  • "Interweaves the stories of Salva and Nya in Sudan. In 1985 Salva's small village in Sudan erupts into chaos while the 11-year-old is in school, and the teacher tells the children to run away. Salva leaves his family and all that is familiar and begins to walk towards a refugee camp in Ethiopia. In 2008, Nya's life in Sudan revolves around water. She spends eight hours a day walking to and from a pond. In the dry season, her family must uproot themselves and relocate to the dry lake bed where they dig in the mud until water eventually trickles out. Nya's narrative frames Salva's journey from Sudan to Ethiopia to Rochester, NY, and, eventually, back to Sudan. Suggested level: primary, intermediate."
