![]() ![]() The War That Saved My Life by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley tells the story of Ada and her experience in WWII. Reading this novel makes me intrigued to read more Newbery Honor books and compare them to winners. I was so disappointed in that selection that I didn’t write a review here, just a short one on Goodreads. However, the other two Honor books (a graphic novel about junior high roller derbies and a novel with 4 independent story lines that all converge in the end) sound far superior to an oversimplified picture book about a boy riding the bus with his grandma. I haven’t read all the Honor books for that year, but I can say that this book is far superior to the picture book that won the Newbery Medal in 2016. ![]()
