Ada has never left her one-room apartment in her nine years of life. Her
mother keeps Ada inside because Ada was born with a clubfoot. But when her
brother starts venturing outside the house, Ada teaches herself to walk. When
humors of Hitler bombing London, Ada escapes with Jamie, her brother, to the
country.
Ada and Jamie are taken to live with Susan, who really didn’t want kids.
While with Susan, Ada teaches herself to ride a pony, Buttercup. She also
learns to read with the help of Susan. She also begins to trust Susan and over
time, Susan begins to care for Ada and Jamie. When Ada and Jamie are taken back
to London with their mother, will they ever see Susan again and can they make
it through the war?
