Recommended Age: 8+ years and above

The War That Saved My Life (a Newbery Honour book) is for you if like war books and want motivation. 10 year old Ada has never been out of her room, let alone the flat for as long as she can remember because of the humiliation it would bring to her cruel Mum, just because she has a clubfoot. Ada says in the book, "My bad foot's a long way from my brain." And that's true, she is quite smart, once she is used to the changes. So when her little brother, Jamie is shipped out of London to escape the war, Ada joins him.

Join Ada's adventures in World War II, and watch out for the next book, The War I Finally Won.
