This is such a great book I had never liked to read books. My brother always told me you just haven't found the right one yet.so I was looking at this book it was making me feel like I want to read more so I decided to read it and when I did I fell in love with this book so now in am reading a lot wrote miss/Mrs. Park thank you for making me want to read more I owe it all to you. I was so inspired to write this because I know what its like to lose such a close family member my grandpa was my everything but he died so Long Walk to Water gave me a message those who are lost without someone never give up make the person you lost proud of you ,and what you did for yourself.
