The War That Saved My Life

This award winning historical fiction follows the story of a club footed, 10 year old girl named Ada, when she bravely leaves the only room she's ever lived in and flees to the English countryside with her little brother to escape the WWII bombings in London. It's a heartwarming story about overcoming hardships and the transformative power of found family. Ada's determination and resilience is inspiring.
