Monroe County Teen Librarians choose

A LONG WALK TO WATER

as this year's Teen Read 

In Fall, 2011, author Linda Sue Park visited school and public libraries throughout the area to celebrate the second annual Greater Rochester Teen Read.  She spoke with teens about her newest award-winning book, A Long Walk to Water.

A Long Walk to Water begins as two stories, told in alternating sections, about a girl in Southern Sudan in 2008 and a boy in Southern Sudan in 1985.  Based on the true story of Salva Dut, who later settled in Rochester, A Long Walk to Water is a powerful and inspirational story.
