Теперь у Ады есть настоящая любящая семья, и ей, похоже, могут вылечить покалеченную ногу, из-за которой родная мать всегда считала её ничтожеством. Но кто она теперь? Она не дочь, ведь у неё нет матери, она больше не калека и не изгой, она не эвакуированный ребёнок из разбомблённого Лондона, да и вроде не сирота даже, ведь у неё есть опекун… Как найти себя, когда в мире бушует война, люди появляются в жизни и исчезают, а тот, на кого она только-только позволила себе положиться, может тоже её оставить – и на этот раз навсегда? Ещё немало сражений ждёт Аду, пусть она никогда не бывала на фронте. Хватит ли у неё отваги и силы выстоять в этой войне?

Ада в жизни не видела травы и деревьев. Она ни разу не отмечала Рождество. Она никогда не выходила из дома – весь её мир состоял из маленькой комнаты, вида из окна на четвёртом этаже, брата Джейми и вечно недовольной мамы. Нельзя Аде из дома выходить, у неё ведь нога… Да и как выйти, если ходить она почти не может? Но когда из-за войны Джейми с другими детьми эвакуируют, Аде ничего не остаётся, как встать на ноги и пойти – вслед за ним, чтобы не остаться одной и чтобы выжить. И только тогда она понимает, как велик этот мир и как много в нём всего разного, сложного и… хорошего. И пусть война – это страшно, но, возможно, именно она подарит…

In this powerful novel that explodes the stigma around child sexual abuse and leavens an intense tale with compassion and humor, Kimberly Brubaker Bradley tells a story about two sisters, linked by love and trauma, who must find their own voices before they can find their way back to each other.

Ada and her younger brother, Jamie, now have a permanent home with their loving legal guardian, Susan Smith. Although Jamie adapts more easily, Ada still struggles with the aftermath of her old life, and how to fit into her new life.

World War II continues, and forces the small community to come together and rely on one another. Ada has never been interested in getting to know her friend’s family—especially Maggie’s mother, the formidable Lady Thorton. However, circumstances bring them in close proximity along with other unexpected characters.

Ada comes face to face with another German! This time she isn’t sure what she should do. How can she help the ones she loves and keep them safe?

Ada’s first story, The War that Saved My Life, won a Newbery Honor, the Schneider Family Book Award, and the Josette Frank Award, in addition to appearing on multiple best-of-the-year lists. This second, marvelous volume continues Ada’s powerful, uplifting story.

Suzanne David's everyday life is suddenly shattered in 1940 when a bomb drops on the main square of her hometown, the city of Cherbourg, France, killing a pregnant neighbor right in front of her. Until then the war had seemed far away, not something that would touch her or her teenage friends. Now Suzanne's family is kicked out onto the street as German soldiers take over their house as a barracks.

Suzanne clings to the one thing she really loves--singing. Her voice is so amazing that she is training to become an opera singer. As Suzanne travels around for rehearsals, costume fittings, or lessons, she learns more about what the Nazis are doing and about the people who are "disappearing." Her travels are noticed by someone else, an organizer of the French Resistance. Soon Suzanne is a secret courier, a spy fighting for France and risking her own life for freedom.
