It's so nice when a sequel not only lives up to the original book (which was outstanding), but surpasses it.
I read this aloud to my 8 and 10/11 yr old daughters. We loved the first book, so we looked forward to reading this one. This one wasn't quite as compelling to me as the first one. It was very heavy, which is ok, but it seemed very long. It took us two months to read. My daughters really liked it though. Ada is a very complex character, which I liked. A lot of characters in juvenile fiction are pretty flat. All of the characters had really great depth, I thought. I would be interested in reading some of Bradley's other books.
I'm thinking I should try to read this in book form. the audio book its incredibly difficult to get through. I had this problem with the first, but kept going because the story was worth it. but the main character is an incredible brat. the whining and being mean to everyone is really really difficult to listen to. part of me is assuming that it is the delivery, because everyone else seems to love this book, and i've not read any other reviews of dnf because everyone wants to slap the main character all the time. maybe I just don't have space for this character in my life right now and I can come back to it when my life is less chaotic.
LOVED it--and didn't think I would as much as her first book!
Loved this just as much if not more than the first book❤️❤️❤️
I don't normally read sequels, but I could not resist this book. I love historical fiction and this did not disappoint.

I listened to this sequel to The War That Saved My Life about a British girl with a club foot that was sent to the country to be safe from bombings during WWII. It's a feel-good historical fiction novel, appropriate for young readers, with a strong female lead. The voice actor's voicing of children is grating and makes it hard to like the main character. 3.5 stars
