A boy, Victor, realizes that the girls in his Malawi village are not being treated the same as the boys. When he and his twin sister Linesi turn eight years old, he still attends to school but Linesi, like other girls and women in the community, has to walk to the river several times a day to get water for the family. Victor comes up with a plan to help. Based on the true story of a Malawian boy, the book also includes information about education and water availability in Malawi, resources and a glossary of Chichewa words.
