      2022., Farrar Straus Giroux Call No: MEMOIR NF DEN   Edition: 1st ed.    Availability:1 of 1     At Location(s) Summary Note: "For ten years, Achut Deng surrived at Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya after her family was ripped apart by the Second Sudanese Civil War. But Achut wanted to do more than merely survive. She wanted to live. The twenty-two-year civil war essentially orphaned over 20,000 children and drove them from their villages in southern Sudan. Some of these children walked over a thousand miles, through dangerous war zones and across unforgiving deserts. They are often referred to as The Lost Boys. But there were girls, too. Achut Deng was one of them. This is her story. It's a story of unimaginable hardship and selfless bravery, of tormenting physical pain and amazing emotional resilience, of unbreakable bonds of friendship and family. It's a story about what happens when your dream comes true, only to give way to a new nightmare. It's about how hard you will fight to save your own life"--Provided by publisher.

      [2020]., General, Clarion Books, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Call No: Historical Fiction PAR    Availability:1 of 1     At Location(s) Summary Note: Una larga travesi?a hasta el agua, best-seller del New York Times, comienza como dos historias, que se van alternando, sobre dos nin?os de once an?os en Suda?n, una nin?a en 2008 y un nin?o en 1985. La nin?a, Nya, va a buscar agua a un estanque que esta? a dos horas de caminata desde su hogar; cada di?a, hace dos viajes hasta el estanque. El nin?o, Salva, se convierte en uno de los "nin?os perdidos" de Suda?n, refugiados que recorren a pie el continente africano en bu?squeda de sus familias y de un lugar seguro en el que vivir. Soportando todas las adversidades -la soledad, el ataque de rebeldes armados, el contacto con leones y cocodrilos asesinos-, Salva es un superviviente, y su historia se cruza con la historia de Nya de una manera sorprendente y movilizadora.
