Ten year old, Ada and her five year old brother Jamie decide to leave their abusive home to join the other children that are evacuating England due to the war. Set during World War II, the author immediately pulls you into the horrifying life that Ada and Jamie endure at the hand of their mother. Ada having been born with a clubfoot never learned to walk. Her mother won't let her out of the house and tells her that no one wants to see her and her disgusting foot. How will she and Jamie get to the train station to join the other evacuees? This book has already become a book that I carry around in the hopes that a better life awaits Ada and Jamie when they get off the train in the English countryside.
