This was a re-read in preparation for the next Treehouse Book Club. My original blog about it is here. It's the story of a girl born with a club foot who lives with an abusive mother who keeps her hidden away. When her little brother is to be sent away because of the threat of London getting bombed by the Nazis, Ada runs (crawls) away with him. They end up in the care of a young woman who is bullied into taking them in but soon comes to love them and makes plans to get Ada's foot surgically repaired only to be thwarted by the children's mother. There is a sequel titled The War I Finally Won but I have yet to read it.
