<Li> Horn Book Fanfare Book 2015 </Li> <P> The War That Saved My Life received very good reviews . The Horn Book Magazine claims "This is a feel - good story, but an earned one". School Library Journal talks about the emotional connection readers will have "Readers will ache for her as she misreads cues and pushes Susan away, even though she yearns to be enfolded in a hug . There is much to like here - Ada's engaging voice, the vivid setting, the humor, the heartbreak, but most of all the tenacious will to survive exhibited by Ada and the villagers who grow to love and accept her". Thom Barthelmess in The Horn Book Magazine stated "Bradley's novel is exceptional for the characters' deep humanity". </P>
