Specifications
Two boys are setting out on a long walk-thousands of miles apart. One, an American teenager, hikes for the challenge and fun of it. The other, an African child, escapes to save his life. Their backgrounds-and their aims-could hardly be more different. Yet these two boys have something in common, so important it may finally bring their paths together. Award-winning author of children's books, Elsa Marston has written a story that emulates Rotary's Four-Way Test in creative and thought-provoking ways. With illustrations by June Allan, the book describes the 500-mile hike on the Appalachian Trail in 2013 by Morgan Scherer, an Indiana boy, to raise money for a school in Africa. The narrative is interwoven with tales of a much longer walk to safety by a fictitious Congolese boy and his family, after the fighting in the eastern Congo drives them from their village. Judy Schroeder, a writer, editor, and critic, says, "Quite frankly this book far surpassed my expectations. Elsa has done a superb job of contrasting experiences of young people in the United States with youthful refugees in Central Africa. The illustrations and photography are inviting.
