🌊 The book’s complex plot structure incorporates two parallel stories in which a search for water plays a significant role. It details the heartbreaking journey of one of Sudan’s “lost boys” during the 1970s as well as the more contemporary plight of a young girl and her family dealing with the hardship of water shortages in their African village.
Rich language, phrasing, characterization, and thematic development make this book a worthwhile choice for all guided reading levels during our unit on the importance of water.
