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
So begins a new adventure for Ada, and for Susan
Smith, the woman who is forced to take the two kids in. As Ada teaches herself
to ride a pony, learns to read, and watches for German spies, she begins to
trust Susan—and Susan begins to love Ada and Jamie. But in the end, will their
bond be enough to hold them together through wartime? Or will Ada and her
brother fall back into the cruel hands of their mother?
