Sophia W.: The book I chose to read this summer, The War That Saved My Life by Kimberly Bradley, is about a 9-year-old girl named Ada, and her 6-year-old brother Jamie living with their cruel and abusive guardian, Mam. Ada has clubfoot and Mam strongly dislikes her because she is an embarrassment and not a "normal" child. Mam treats Ada very inhumanely, and when Mam gets mad she locks her in the sink cabinet without food for days. On the other hand, Mam prefers Jamie without a doubt. according to Mam, Jamie is a "normal" child like any other kid in the world. |
