This book was sad but it was happy at the same time. It was sad but happy because the main character [Ada] has a club foot and her mother never lets her go outside,so Ada sends her little brother [Jamie] to get her stuff. When Hitler was about to hit London so Jamie only was supposed to move,but Ada decided to go with him without their mother knowing. This a great journey to follow of this girls and her little brothers life. It’s an absolute awesome book.
