A note for parents
This Newbery Honor-winning historical fiction follows a girl with a club foot escaping London during WWII and discovering resilience, belonging, and self-worth. While it addresses serious themes including childhood abuse, physical disability, and the trauma of war, the story is ultimately hopeful and character-driven, emphasizing healing and human connection. The emotional weight is significant but age-appropriate for mature middle-grade readers who can process difficult subjects within a redemptive narrative.
