When war breaks out, Ada moves to the countryside with her younger brother and their guardian into a small cottage owned by the bossy Lady Thornton.

Luckily, Lady Thornton’s got beautiful horses for everyone to ride. Everyone except Ruth. Because she’s German.

This is an Amazing Must-Read!

Review by Yona

This work of historical fiction is set in England during WWII. Eleven-year-old Ada struggles to figure out how she can help with the war efforts and protect her younger brother. She also meets Ruth, a Jewish girl from Germany, and their relationship is, well... complicated. If you enjoy reading about characters with exciting lives and big emotions, pick up this book!! (One last note: This is a sequel to The War That Saved My Life. This book can stand alone, but personally I recommend reading them in order.)

Review by Gymnast427

The War I Finally Won is An amazing book! It moved me to tears multiple times and I could not put it down. The sequel was also amazing and definitely worth reading. Ada goes through extremely difficult things in her young life and experiences some pretty sever trauma, but along with her brother and her friends she survives... This book was so motivating and empowering for me, and I think it would be the same for everyone who reads it.

Review by pinkeagle

This book is about living in WWII. I love historical fiction and would totally recommend it. It’s an inspiring story about a girl who perseveres and navigates her way through life. This is the sequel to The War That Saved My Life but can definitely stand alone!!!
