This was another one from one of my nephews. I really enjoyed it. I liked the two stories told together on an important topic.

Wow. What a book to transform thinking. Based on a true story of one of the Lost Boys from Sudan. He walked 18 months from Ethiopia to Kenya after being kicked out of a refugee camp. Then his story ties to the story of a girl who spends her day collecting water in a village in South Sudan. Well written, honest but accessible for 11+ year olds.

A very well rounded good story. Written very well to keep the reader engaged.

My daughter gave me the book to read. She had read it at school, liked it, and thought I would too. I did like it, very much.

It had a lot of heart and makes you realize how grateful most of us can be.
