Ada, de nueve años, nunca ha salido de su apartamento de una habitación. Su madre está demasiado humillada por el pie torcido de Ada como para dejarla salir. Entonces, cuando su hermano menor Jamie es enviado fuera de Londres para escapar de la guerra, Ada no pierde ni un minuto y se escapa para unirse a él. Así comienza una nueva aventura de Ada, y para Susan Smith, la mujer que se ve obligada a acoger a los dos niños. Mientras Ada se enseña a montar en pony, aprende a leer y busca espías alemanes, comienza a confiar en Susan y Susan comienza a amar a Ada y Jamie. Pero al final, ¿será su vínculo suficiente para mantenerlos unidos durante la guerra? ¿O Ada y su hermano volverán a caer en las crueles manos de su madre?


 

 

Nine-year-old Ada has never left her one-room apartment. Her mother is too humiliated by Ada's twisted foot to let her outside. So when her little brother Jamie is shipped out of London to escape the war, Ada doesn't waste a minute she sneaks out to join him. So begins a new adventure of Ada, and for Susan Smith, the woman who is forced to take the two kids in. As Ada teaches herself to ride a pony, learns to read, and watches for German spies, she begins to trust Susan and Susan begins to love Ada and Jamie. But in the end, will their bond be enough to hold them together through wartime? Or will Ada and her brother fall back into the cruel hands of their mother?
