Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

4.5 stars! “I don't know what to say," she said, after a pause. "I don't want to tell you a lie, and I don't know the truth." It was maybe the most honest thing anyone had ever said to me. Man this book really packed in the feels! There were moments where I felt like I had been punched with emotion! The War That Saved My Life is about Ada, a young girl with a deformed foot whose mother kept her inside all her life. When London fears Hitler will start bombing it, all the children are sent to the countryside and Ada sees the outside world for the first time. “I wanted to say a lot of things, but, as usual, I didn't have the words for the thoughts inside my head.” Loved this story, so so much! Ada is such an amazing heroine with so much perseverance even when life literally kept her down. The author really did well on the historical aspects and the writing in this book flowed. I think this is a story everyone needs to read, not just children. “It had been awful, but I hadn't quit. I had persisted. In battle I had won.”
