Good Condition – light cover wear with page-edge tanning.

Nine-year-old Ada has never been allowed to leave her family’s London flat because her abusive mother is ashamed of her clubfoot. When children are evacuated from the city at the beginning of the Second World War, Ada secretly follows her younger brother Jamie and escapes to the countryside. The siblings are taken in by Susan Smith, a reluctant guardian whose quiet care gradually gives Ada the safety to learn, grow, and ride a pony. As war threatens their new home, Ada confronts fear, mistrust, and the possibility of belonging. Kimberly Brubaker Bradley’s moving novel is a story of survival, chosen family, and a child discovering her own worth.
