These are the books I read this month:
The War That Saved My Life by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley--I had originally picked up this book for my daughter, but she wasn't interested. So I read it! Ada and her brother, Jamie, flee London during WWII because of the bomb threats. They also flee a very abusive home life. Once in the countryside, they meet Susan Smith, mourning the loss of her dear friend. Though reluctant to take in the children, Susan quickly realizes she needs them. And they certainly need her. As the three characters recover from their emotional scares, war moves closer and closer. Until one day Ada and Jamie's mom shows up and the children must decide where they really belong. Must more than a historical fiction novel, this book also touches on emotional abuse, recovery, and the definition of family. I'll definitely be including this one in our WWII unit.
Our suggested reading for February was The Magnolia Story by Chip and Joanna Gaines--
