A New York Times bestseller Like the classic heroines of Sarah,
Plain and Tall, Little 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 awakes from surgery on her club foot, the news that
greets her will change the course of her life. Doors that her
mother had shut tightly are swinging open- But World War II rages
on. Ada and her brother, Jamie, are forced to move into a cottage
with the iron-faced Lady Thorton and her daughter, Maggie. Life in
the crowded home is tense. Then Ruth arrives. Ruth, a Jewish girl,
from Germany. A German? Could Ruth be a spy? As the fallout from
the war intensifies, calamity creeps closer to Ada's doorstep, and
life grows 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. "Honest . . .
Daring." -The New York Times "Stunning." -The Washington Post "Ada
is for the ages-as is this book. Wonderful." -Kirkus, starred
review "Fans of the first book will love the sequel even more."
-SLJ, starred review "Bradley sweeps us up . . . even as she moves
us to tears." -The Horn Book, starred review "Perceptive . . .
satisfying . . . will stay with readers." -PW, starred review
"Beautiful." -HuffPost
