A Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park

3.0

Juvenile fiction- very basic storytelling for 3rd-5th grade. Although the writing style is geared towards upper elementary the themes are heavy. Themes include war, starvation, genocide, & execution. The ending is sped up rapidly covering decades at a time. It would have been nice to have more detail. I enjoyed reading about how schools earn money for the wells for South Sudan after reading this book. I ended the book wanting to know more about Salva.

Nya’s sections were incredibly difficult to read on the kindle because of the light color typeface. Even darkening it to the boldest my kindle would go, didn’t help that much.
