Sweet story about a young girl named Ada who has a clubfoot. She and her younger brother live in London with their cruel and abusive mom. When children are evacuated from London during WWII, it's the best thing that could have happened to her. By about a quarter of the way through, you pretty much know exactly what's going to happen, but it's still a great story, well-told. Deducted a star because there are several things, especially toward the end, that are just a little too convenient.

This book really teaches children how awful a child can be treated. Poor Ada was forced to stay in her apartment because she was born with a club foot. Her mother hit her and hid her in a dank dark cabinet.

The horrors of WWII in England almost pale in comparison for Ada to her own mother.

The book is well-written. It provides a lot of information regarding WWII in England and I learned a lot.

I think this is a memorable book best for children 6th grade and above.

2ND TIME READING and I still love it, i'm not sure if I'll re-read the second one though since I wasn't as fond of it but I really love Ada's journey.
