I admire someone who has been through a lot, and still keeps their head up!

I can´t believe that it is already over. I hope that there is another version of this book in the point of view of Jamie or Mam, or even Susan. It would be cool if the author wrote a book about World War 1 in the point of view of another kid. Or maybe about a kid in Syria against ISIS. Mam is cruel. She deserved to die. I hope she did. The book would be cooler if they found their dad in the shelter instead of him dying. Ada changed a lot since the story began. At the start she was kind of like a cripple because Mam made her think she was. Then at the end, she became more confident and did not think she was a cripple.

Tears shed down my eyes. They knew that home was where their true mother was. Susan. That one image that says blood makes you related and loyalty makes you family matches this book. Boverall the cat is amazing! It is hard to believe it would follow Jamie through the fire and bombs. This author is amazing, I would love to know what inspired her to do this. I wonder if mam was abused? I honestly thought it was a divorce for the father not a death! Ada actually tricked mam and now she is free! Mam is not alive in my opinion because she was not a the shelter . If she is not alive, she did NOT deserve it.

I am so happy that it all turned out well, it was so sweet and the plot kept on changing. I loved the part at the end where Bovril jumped out of the wreckage and came straight for Jamie just as Ada was looking for Butter and Fred knew exactly what she was looking for. It did not tell what happened to Mam, i wonder if she heard the sirens going off and if she made it to the shelter in time. At first when we just started the book we had no idea why they named the book "The War That Saved My Life" but then at the end it made sense and I don't know about other readers but I thought the title was great and it fit the story perfectly. Overall this book is amazing.

I really like the end of this book. I mean it was AMAZING compared to some of the other books I've read. I'm also glad that Butter is okay, and Susan of course! I would like to meet the author of this book and read more of her books because THEY ARE PROBABLY AMAZING. Also it was rude that Mam slapped Jamie, especially because they hadn't been with Mam in such a long time. I hope that there is a sequel!

Ada showed fear in the beginning of the book. When she went through obstacles in London and the countryside, she said it herself, she changed and believed in herself after bombs, tragedy, and abuse. This book definitely has a theme topic of family. It's amazing on how tragedy can bring a family that's in pieces to a family with an unbreakable bond. I love this picture. It shows how family is important to all. Family and love is what keeps the world going 'round.

What if Mam died?! How would Ada and Jamie feel if she died? I wish the book kept on going because it was SO good! I loved it! I am so glad that Bovril and Butter did not die! If they did I would be SO sad. It would just be terrible.

# data[].attributes.body
That story made me so sad, happy, and mad, and amazed. I almost cried, but I yelled at Mam during the book. "WHAT?! MAM! YOU'RE SO STUPID!!!!!! I just can't believe that they made it to Susan's house safely at the end! I just loved this book.

# data[].attributes.body
If i choose a topic to describe this book i would call it inspirational. I would call it that because this book showed me that today could be your last day so make it good. I think that because Ada went through hard times and she didn't know if she would make it so she tried her best to make the best of it.

I thought it was HORRIBLE when mams eyes lit up when Ada said she would leave and mam didn't have to pay. That's just horrible she should take the blessings god gave her and love them. She is very lucky she found a lady like Susan that will take the kids in for free. Susan is the real mom.

I think the title was called The War That Saved My Life because this war gave her the chance to escape to a new family. So when the war came she finally got a place to be and be loved on.

That was an incredible story! I love how Ada and Jamie got to go back with Ms. Smith. The ending of the story was sad, but happy too. Ada. and Jamie deserve someone better that "Mam". She was an idiot, a brat, and overall mean. If she thinks she has a right to do whatever she wants with "her" kids, she is so wrong. She shouldn't think the world revolves around her. It revolves around the sun, and everyone should be able to share that.

Family is not something a person should take advantage of, unlike "Mam". Family is something people are fortunate to have. Respect them, their opinions, and their friends.

Bovril jumped to Jamie as a cow jumps over the moon. Ada decided to stand up to Mam like the summer stands up to winter. Most readers, including myself, would have been sad if Bovril and Butter had died due to the bombs. Most readers, again including myself, probably want a movie of this book. In scientific terms, the bomb that dropped on Susan's house must have been big but not too big for it did not kill Butter. Now that Ada and Jamie are not Mams children because Mam doesn't want them and they ran away, Ada and Jamie are now, in a way, Susan's children. With that fact, Ada's foot will probably get fixed. Now me and more of the readers are wondering: where will Susan, Ada and Jamie live now? Mam is a very bad parent and has got the punishment. She is alone and lives in a very, very dirty flat and can't have a human slave to do her bidding. So in conclusion, THE WAR THAT SAVED MY LIFE is a very sad but happy story and the name is an achremoron.

I loved the book. I was not surprised when Susan came i thought she would. I loved the ending it was great. Also at the end Ada found what family really is. Ada showed courage when she stood up and told Mam that Jamie and her could leave for ever. I was relived that Butter and Bovril are alive. Jamie showed courage when he brought Bovril to Susan and said I am keeping him.

I believe that the theme is to love your family (in this case, family is the people who care about you and truly love you.) I was worried that Ada and Jamie would have died during the invasion.

# data[].attributes.body
Loved it! I think it is amazing how hard times can really bring a family together. Also, I thought it was interesting that the title was both literal and figurative. It was literal because the war actually saved Ada, Jamie, and Susan's lives. It was figurative because the war changed Ada's life to a good life. Family is not a blood relative. It is someone who loves you and cares for you. It does not matter if that person is related to you or not. What really makes family is love. The theme of this book is to be brave when things get tough. Ada showed this by standing up to Mam. But, she would not have been able to be brave if it were not for her family. I am wondering, will Ada's foot get fixed? Will Mam like living alone? What happens next? Will there be a sequel?

When Susan got out and saw that the house wasn't there I couldn't believe it. Then I immediately started thinking about butter and Bovril, then Bovril came out then Fred said that Butter was okay and my brain was like thank God. Mam was so cruel. I didn't even know that her father died.

# data[].attributes.body
First: great book. Second: Happy and sad ending, possibly leaving off for another book. It's sad because Mam said that she really didn't want them. It's sad because the house was destroyed. It's happy because Susan came back for them. It's happy because Butter and Bovril are still OK in the end of the book.

# data[].attributes.body
In the beginning of the book I thought that the title just/only related to Ada and how getting away from Mam gave her freedom but, in the end I realized that the title can relate to Ada like I just stated, Jamie because he got away from Mam as well and now has freedom, Susan because if Ada and Jamie hadn't come to her she would have been depressed the entire time the war was going on and if she hadn't gone looking for them then she would have died when the bomb hit her house. It also affects Butter and Bovril because if Ada hadn't come Butter's hooves would have kept on growing and if Jamie hadn't come Bovril could have gotten hurt very easily. Lastly, the title THE WAR THAT SAVED MY LIFE relates to Mam because, because of the war Ada and Jamie left and she doesn't have to pay for them not being there.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the theme of THE WAR THAT SAVED MY LIFE is care about others. I think this because Ada, Jamie, and Susan care about each other so much. It is so lucky that Bovril and Butter lived. I don´t think I would be able to live with the conclusion that those two beloved pets died. If there was a sequal to this book, I would defenitely read it! The book was fantastic!!!!!!!!

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder where they will live since there house got bombed. I am glad that Butter survived I thought he was dead meat. I wonder what happened to Mam I wonder if her factory got bombed. Family is people who love and care for each other who stick together and never give up for each other. That can mean biological family but in this book it means who stick together and don't give up for each other.

Once all of the bombings happened, I had many feelings and reactions to that event. I was very scared because I was thinking, "What's happening where Miss Smith is?". I think the theme of THE WAR THAT SAVED MY LIFE is love yourself the way you love others, because throughout the book, Ada does things for other people and loves other people, but thought she didn't deserve to be loved by Susan and Mam and Steven and other friends as a friend or as family. I think that family is people who love you, care about you, are loyal to you, and understand you. No matter how many members, your family is still a family. For example, Ada, Jamie and Susan are a family, even though Ada and Jamie aren't related to Susan, they are still a family, because they care about each other, love each other, are loyal to each other, and understand each other. If the cat, Bovril, and the horse, Butter, died, readers like myself and my class would be very upset. I think we are all glad everything went (sort of) Well.

I loved this book, but it was one of the saddest stories I've read. Why was Mam mean and said she never wanted them? What happens to their dad? At the begging of the book I thought it would always be sad and gloomy. Towards the middle I thought-YEAH! EVERY THING IS AWESOME. Right before the end of the book I thought it would be better, Mam finally being nice. It turned out- it was the worst thing ever. Why didn't Mam get in trouble for treating her kids like that? At the end it was sort of like a sad party. I also learned what family means. I learned that it isn't your biological parents and siblings, as shown Mam WAS NOT family, even thought technically, yes they are family, but they really aren't. Susan and Jamie are Ada's true family.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the theme of THE WAR THAT SAVED MY LIFE is love yourself. The whole book Ada is uncomfortable having nice things. Bust then Susan really makes her feel like she is loved and belongs, she has friends, people who love her and more than she could have wanted. But near the end it all falls apart when Mam takes them back and is mean again, but then when she finds out she can send them away for free she is delighted. Susan is such a great person and she loves Ada and Jamie for example when she lost them she came back for them right away because she loved them so much. But when they get back there house the house is obliterated, but Butter Bovril. I think it will end up bringing all of their friends and family will be ok (except for Mam) . Mam might be her biological family but susan became to be more of a mother than Mam has ever been. Family is the people who love you. Susan is so kind to Ada Jamie.
