Major awards: Newbery

Teacher Evaluation: I think this is a great book for older students. This is a chapter book, so it would probably better for middle school-high school students to read it. Some days I could read aloud one or two chapters or let students read the book by themselves. At the end of the chapter, there would be a class discussions to questions to answer. This would be a great book assignment for students to practice their comprehension skills.
Summary: The setting is during World War II about a girl who can not walk due to her twisted foot. Her mom is ashamed of her, treats her bad, and does not let her leave their home. She has a younger brother who she loves and protects him. She wants a better life for them, so they escaped. They both find a better place to live at so she is finally able to grow and enjoy her life.
