Ten year old Ada Smith has a clubfoot. She has never been out of her Mam's flat in London. When plans are made for her little brother Jamie to go to the countryside to be safer, Ada wants to go too but Mam says no. So Ada runs away with her brother Jamie to go to the countryside. There, they are taken in by Miss Susan Smith who gradually learns to love Ada and Jamie like a mother.
I love this book because it is about finding love in the midst of World War 11. My Mom and I read this book aloud to each other - we both loved it.
