Shauna_Morrison | Feb 5, 2024 |   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. “You can know things all you like, and someday you might believe them.” (  ) LuLibro | Jan 22, 2024 | ) LibrarianDest | Jan 3, 2024 | ) jennybeast | Apr 14, 2022 |  ) crazynerd | Mar 30, 2022 | keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML: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??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. "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 ??

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. (
