Ten-year-old Ada has never been allowed outside.
Born with a clubfoot, she has been shamed and locked away by her mother. When the children of London are evacuated in 1939, Ada sneaks out with her little brother Jamie and finds, in the English countryside, courage, a family, and a pony named Butter. Kimberly Brubaker Bradley’s Newbery Honor novel is a powerful story of war, healing, and the meaning of home.

It will guide your students and promote enjoyment and comprehension of this novel.
Work on student comprehension, inference, character growth, vocabulary, and more, all while encouraging a love of reading through a book that sparks great discussion. Perfect for a focused novel study: the packet is paced for about 3 weeks.
Leave the hard work to me! This novel is sure to become a favorite of yours and your students.

Content note: Ada’s mother hits her, calls her a cripple, and locks her in a cabinet, and Ada has flashbacks and panic attacks; war scenes include a plane crash, wounded and dying soldiers at Dunkirk, and bombings; mild words appear a few times; the Kindle edition ends with excerpts of the sequels, which contain spoilers.

Hi, I’m Kim! I’m an educator with a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Elementary Education and more than 30 years of classroom experience.
I started The Literature Lady because I wanted to make reading come alive for students—and make lesson planning a lot easier for teachers. I create resources that were way too time-consuming to create while teaching full-time, so that now you don’t have to! My passion is creating engaging, low-prep resources, such as novel studies, Word Noodle vocabulary games, and reader’s theatre scripts, that help kids fall in love with books while building real skills.
When I’m not writing or designing new lessons, you’ll find me teaching right here on the TeacherStore.io community platform! The Young Scholar Academy is an online small group learning community that teaches homeschool students in grades 1-8. We teach core classes, electives, one-on-one tutoring, and so much more! As Tiffany would say, "Come for the classes, stay for the community!"
I am also a fun of reading, baking, traveling, or hanging out with my husband, our two college-aged sons, and our dogs, Maisie and Sophie.
