Description
Follow the life altering adventures of Ada and Jaime as they are relocated during WWII. From an unhospitable upbringing in inner city London to the country life with Ms. Smith, these siblings’ lives are changed as Europe is thrown into the midst of the War. This is a great historical fiction book to help start some difficult discussions with upper elementary and middle school students. As Ada’s and Jaime’s upbringing differs greatly from most children, the conversations around abuse and neglect may be difficult for some students to understand. Grow with Ada and Jaime as they learn how simple gestures of care are often the greatest reflections of love. The first book in a short series following the lives of Ada and Jaime during WWII. The final pages of the book include a fun Q&A with the author as well as a short excerpt from the second book The War I Finally Won. This section also includes an excerpt from Jefferson’s Sons, also written by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley. Pgs. 316 | pb ~Rebecca
Publisher's Description of War That Saved My Life
Ten-year-old Ada has never left her one-room apartment. Her mother is too humiliated by Ada’s twisted foot to let her outside. So when her little brother Jamie is shipped out of London to escape the war, Ada doesn’t waste a minute—she sneaks out to join him.
So begins a new adventure for Ada, and for Susan Smith, the woman who is forced to take the two kids in. As Ada teaches herself to ride a pony, learns to read, and watches for German spies, she begins to trust Susan—and Susan begins to love Ada and Jamie. But in the end, will their bond be enough to hold them together through wartime? Or will Ada and her brother fall back into the cruel hands of their mother?
