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.

Thanks, darlin'.It was my first read of Kimberly Brubaker Bradley and she won my heart! The War that saved my life was absolutely breathtaking and one of the best books I've ever read!While reading this book, I felt so submerged into all characters that it was hard to remember I was not Ada or Susan.

Not bad for a middle grade novel. Not bad at all. A beautiful and heartwarming story about overcoming emotional and physical abuse, and learning to accept unconditional love from yourself and from others. Takes place during World War II in London. This novel doesn't pull punches or try to sugar coat the harshness of life. "The War That Saved My Life" will tug at your heartstrings, and reaffirm your faith in the kindness of strangers. Enjoy!
I feel like I really must be missing something with this one. Newbery Honor, great reviews, but to me it just felt like a story that's been done to death, with nothing really fresh. Neglected London child evacuated for safety to the country, placed with grouchy hermit, blooms and brings new joy and community integration to grouchy hermit. Good Night, Mr. Tom all over again. Only not nearly as well done. Our protagonist here, Ada, is not just horribly abused, but also crippled due to her mother's
I am also 10 and this book is more then Great I recommend this book for sure!

What a wonderful book. I rarely enjoy recently written books, and the two recently written books I have given 4 stars too become 3 stars in comparison.

In fact getting home from the library standing inside the front door I flicked to the first page and read the first couple of pages without realising, totally absorbed.The story begins with Ada and Jamie, they are very poor and live with their single mum. Even though she has so little
