Buy from…

A tale of courage set in England during the dark days of World War II and the sequel to the much-loved 2016 Newbery Honor Book, The War That Saved My Life.

Like the classic heroines, Ada conquers the homefront as her World War II journey continues in this sequel to the Newbery Honor–winning The War that Saved My Life.

When Ada’s clubfoot is surgically fixed at last, she knows for certain that she’s not what her mother said she was—crippled mentally as well as physically. She’s not a daughter anymore, either. What is she?
Ada and her brother, Jamie, are living with their loving legal guardian, Susan, in a borrowed cottage on the estate of the formidable Lady Thorton and her daughter, Maggie. Life in the crowded cottage is tense enough, and then, Ruth, a Jewish girl from Germany, moves in. A German? Everyone is horrified. Life becomes more complex. How can Ada keep fighting? And who will she struggle to save?

The War that Saved My Life, won a Newbery Honor, the Schneider Family Book Award, the Josette Frank Award, and was shortlisted in the West Australian Young Readers' Book Award, 2017. This second, marvellous volume continues Ada’s powerful, uplifting story

About the author

Kimberly Brubaker Bradley

Kimberly Brubaker Bradley grew up horse-obsessed in a tragically non-horsey family. When she was eighteen, she took the reins in her own hands and hasn’t stopped riding since. Kim ran a pony club for kids in her home town—a big part of her inspiration for this series—all while writing Newbery Honor-winning novels The War That Saved My Life, The War I Finally Won and Night War. Kim is a fierce advocate for horses and the value of the human-horse connection. This is the horse-kid series of her heart.
