An exceptionally moving story of triumph against all odds set during World War 2, from the acclaimed author of Jefferson’s Sons and for fans of Number the Stars. Ten-year-old Ada has never left her one-room apartment. Her mother is too humiliated by Ada’s twisted foot to let her outside. So when her little brother Jamie is shipped out of London to escape the war, Ada doesn’t waste a minute—she sneaks out to join him. So begins a new adventure of Ada, and for Susan Smith, the woman who is forced to take the two kids in. As Ada teaches herself to ride a pony, learns to read, and watches for German spies, she begins to trust Susan—and Susan begins to love Ada and Jamie. But in the end, will their bond be enough to hold them together through wartime? Or will Ada and her brother fall back into the cruel hands of their mother? This masterful work of historical fiction is equal parts adventure and a moving tale of family and identity—a classic in the making.Rating About Books The War That Saved My Life (The War That Saved My Life #1)

Call me dumpling, if this isn't a Newbery contender for 2016. The historical details, character development, tight plot, and rich layered themes make this firecracker sizzle. Ten-year-old Ada has a clubfoot and is kept locked in her family's one bedroom apartment while her six-year-old brother, Jaimie, roams free in London, England. Mam hits her two children and punishes Ada by locking her in the cabinet under the sink. World War II is about to happen, and parents are sending children to the:(
I am a 10 year old girl and I read this for school. I loved it so much and I hope there is a sequel. If there is another book I will definitely read it and I would recommend this book to everyone that likes books about not giving up!!! Happy reading!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rating: one million stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
As a child I was what one might call a selective reader. Selective in that I studiously avoided any and all works of fiction that might conceivably be considered depressing. Bridge to Terabithia? Ill have none please. Island of the Blue Dolphins? Pass. Jacob Have I Loved? Not in this lifetime. Lord only knows what caused a book to be labeled depressing in my eyes before Id even read it. I think I went by covers alone. Books picturing kids staring out into the vast nothingness of the universe
I know it seems like Ive been tremendously lucky lately, what with all the four-star-ratings Ive been giving, but its only becauseand Ive done this for the whole month of Marchanytime a book bores me, I put it aside and never get back to it. Good, bad? Remains to be seen. That being said, THE WAR THAT SAVED MY LIFE was extraordinary and didnt bore me one bit. No wonder it won so many awards. Its a refreshing middle grade historical fiction book that deserves to be read by adults as well. Its
I am also 10 and this book is more then Great I recommend this book for sure!
