by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley. Oh how I loved this book. My copy did not have the Newberry Medal on it — how glad I am to see that Bradley won a Newberry Honor for this sensitive, clever, adventurous, real, and riveting book. Ada and her little brother Jamie are sent to the country by their abusive “Mam” during World War 2 to live with Susan Smith, who reluctantly hosts them, parenting for the first time. Ada’s discovery of her worth as a human is tender and fierce and heart-rending. I loved it!!
