As far as i can remember, it was 3 kids. oldest maybe 9. takes place in Asia (maybe)and something happens to their mom, so they are to walk to the aunts house or grandmas house. they start to walk and this walk takes days. They are struggling without food or water, they are cold, and the youngest boy's shoes begin to tear from the bottoms. this is as much as i can remember. it was i think a true story.

A Long Way to Go
by Borden Deal
What happens when three children spend the day in the supervised daycare program of a Florida resort motel, but at the end of the day, their parents don't come to pick them up? The motel manager and the uncaring-caregiver want to "do something with them," and the children fear the worst. So the next morning, they just leave the motel and start walking home. Home is six hundred miles away, which leads to an enthralling story of their trip, the people they meet, the ways they find food, frightening experiences, and their worry about what has happened to their parents.
