Very rarely do I bother with star ratings anymore. I loved this book so much though! It drew me right in and I looked forward to my drive so I could listen to more. Thankful the second one was available on Libby so I could dive right in after I finished this today.

This one deserves ten stars! Incredible details - I loved the historical details, and how it told a completely different WWII story than I've read in other novels based in that time period. Ada is such a complex and wonderful protagonist to spend time with, and Jamie and Susan are compelling characters as well. Love the themes of perseverance and family!

This reminded me a lot of "Goodnight Mister Tom" by Michelle Magorian, which I think was better.

Loved. Simple and accessible to all age ranges yet so emotionally mature and complex.
