The War I Finally Won

Samantha Seeman

This is the continuation of Ada’s (and Jamie’s) story. The war is still going and Ada has just had surgery on her foot. It seems that Ada is still struggling with love, acceptance, and feeling safe though.

It always amazes me, and gives me pause, the amount of death that happens in children’s novels. I know that these are issues that need to be addressed and can be done through literature, but it always manages to surprise me just how much death happens within a story. Again, I know that this book is centered around WWII and that, obviously, a lot of people die during war, but I was still surprised by the number of characters introduced, and then cut off in this story (and many others like it).

It was a little slower than the first book, but once it picked up (after a couple chapters) it was equally as good. I really recommend this series to just about everyone, but especially those who enjoy historical fiction.
