Una Larga Travesía Hasta El Agua: Basada en una historia real (A Long Walk to Water Spanish edition), written by Linda Sue Park, reviewed by Amanda Davies

Summary:  This is a Spanish translation of the true story of Salva Dut, a young Sudanese boy, one of the Lost Boys of Sudan. Salva is separated from his family and must walk for weeks in the search for water and food. The book also tells the fictional story of a young Sudanese girl, Nya. The combination of the true and fictional stories flesh out this difficult time in Sudanese history.

Straight Talk for Librarians:  This translation would be great for Spanish or MLL classroom libraries, as well as in middle or high school libraries. Students who speak Spanish as their first language as well as more sophisticated Spanish language learners could both benefit from this book being on the shelves. Because the English version is so easily accessible, it would also work in earlier Spanish language classes where students compare the two versions side by side.
