This Newbery Honor Book is a must read! One of the best I've read this school year.
Ten-year-old Ada has never left her one-room apartment. Her mother is too humiliated by Ada's twisted foot to let her outside. So when her little brother, Jamie, is shipped out of London to escape the war, Ada doesn't waste a minute.....she sneaks out to join him.
