Like the classic heroines of Sarah, Plain and TallLittle Women, and Anne of Green Gables, Ada is a fighter for the ages. Her triumphant 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??damaged, deranged, crippled mentally as well as physically. She??s not a daughter anymore, either. Who is she now?
 
World War II rages on, and Ada and her brother, Jamie, move with their guardian, Susan, into a cottage with the iron-faced Lady Thorton and her daughter, Maggie. Life in the crowded home is tense. Then Ruth moves in. Ruth, a Jewish girl, from Germany. A German? Could Ruth be a spy?
As the fallout from war intensifies, calamity creeps closer, and life during wartime grows even more complicated. Who will Ada decide to be? How can she keep fighting? And who will she struggle to save?
 
Ada??s first story, The War that Saved My Life, was a #1 New York Times bestseller and won a Newbery Honor, the Schneider Family Book Award, and the Josette Frank Award, in addition to appearing on multiple best-of-the-year lists. This second masterwork of historical fiction continues Ada's journey of family, faith, and identity, showing us that real freedom is not just the ability to choose, but the courage to make the right choice.

Another great story in The War That Saved My Life duology. I love how Kimberly Brubaker Bradley does not gloss over the sad parts of this story but she also does not make them unnecessarily gory.
I love how this story ended on a positive note and I would have loved to see an epilogue or a short story (after the war) with Ada and Jamie getting more time with their new grandma and everyone returning to their new normal. ( )

I really enjoyed the book and the continuing of Ada and Jamie’s story. There were still many challenges for them even though Susan is there to love and take care of them. By the way, Susan is such a wonderful mother figure and so patient with Ada’s struggles.

We learn even more about Maggie and her parents and see them go through the loss of Jonathan.

Then Ruth comes to stay with them - a German Jewish girl who’s father works with Lord Thornton. Her interactions with Ada and the family are realistic.

The War brought challenges to everyone, rich and poor and the characters in the story seem so real and personable. I was glad to see Lady Thornton draw closer to Ada and for Ada to better understand Lady Thornton.

The ending was sweet - for the kids to take Susan to Becky’s grave. It shows how much they care for her and what she taught them about love.

Ada is strong and caring and valiant in her personal war.

I sobbed and sobbed through this. In a good way. ( )

The first book blew me away, and this one does, too, but for completely different reasons. It is a delight to hear Ada's acerbic, forthright questions again, and to continue to see the world through her eyes. The war becomes more immediate, and we start to see the larger picture of WWII. At the same time this book is all about negotiating relationships, about truth, about healing, and about how bald-faced bravery turns into trust. It's not an easy story, and it's not an easy road. I think I value it all the more knowing how many children in this world are experiencing trauma or are trying to find their way back from it. This book is a little bit of a road map for that -- it doesn't pretend the rough parts don't exist, it doesn't stick with happily ever after. Great sequel to an astounding first book. ( )

This was a satisfying end to the story of Ada, Jamie and Susan. Watching Ada improve was nice and I really loved how it talked about segregation and I enjoyed Ruth. ( )
