The War That Saved My Life, Best Book This Year

The War That Saved My Life

Kimberly Brubaker Bradley

The War That Saved My Life is one of the best books I have read. It is about a girl, her name is Ada. A small clubfoot is what she has, not that big of a deal right? Right? Not for her mother! She is forbidden to go outside, to school, and is called a cripple. She has not been taught to walk so she has to crawl everywhere. When world war 2 arrives in England her brother is sent to the country, and Ada has the chance to a life-changing decision to leave her abusive mother.
