Nuanced and emotionally acute, this vivid tale from the wartime home front will have readers ages 10-14 wincing at Ada's stumbles and rejoicing to the point of tears in her victories." &mdash;The Wall Street Journal&#9733;&#160;&ldquo;Ada's voice is brisk and honest; her dawning realizations are made all the more poignant for their simplicity. . . . Things come to an explosive head, metaphorically and literally. Ignorance and abuse are brought to light, as are the healing powers of care, respect and love. Set against a backdrop of war and sacrifice, Ada's personal fight for freedom and ultimate triumph are cause for celebration.&rdquo; &mdash;Kirkus, starred review&#9733;&#160;"Proving that her courage and compassion carry far more power than her disability, Ada earns self-respect, emerges a hero, and learns the meaning of home. "&mdash;Publishers Weekly, starred review&#9733;&#160;"Involving, poignant, nuanced . . . This is a feel-good story, but an earned one . . . distinct and powerful in its own right." &mdash;The Horn Book, starred review"There is much to like here&mdash;Ada's engaging voice, the vivid setting, the humor, the heartbreak, but most of all the tenacious will to survive." &mdash;School Library Journal "The home-front realities of WWII, as well as Ada&rsquo;s realistic anger and fear, come to life in Bradley&rsquo;s affecting and austerely told story, and readers will cheer for steadfast Ada as she triumphs over despair." &mdash;Booklist"Skillful, smooth . . . Ada's tough journey from brokenness to healing is poignantly credible in its development and emotionally satisfying outcome. . . . The feel-good appeal of the rescue fantasy combines with the increasingly tense World War II backdrop to make this an effective page-turner." &mdash;BCCB &ldquo;Expertly operating on many different levels, this exquisitely written novel incorporates themes of self-discovery and self-worth, strength of family, the power of love, and the many different kinds of courage. . . . Heart-lifting.&rdquo; &mdash;Joy Fleishhacker&#160;for School Library Journal"In lesser hands than those of Kimberly&#160;Brubaker&#160;Bradley, the plot might tumble into&#160;clich&eacute;, but thanks to Ada's unforgettable character and unflinching voice, you're too busy cheering her on. . . . Artfully woven."&#160;&mdash;Common Sense Media&#160;"An astounding novel. Will you cry and rejoice and hold your breath? Absolutely. Will you find the book as exciting, wise, and profound as I did? Yes. This book is remarkable." &mdash;Karen Cushman, author of Newbery Medal winner The Midwife's Apprentice "A moving story with an authentic voice. Beautifully told." &mdash;Patricia MacLachlan, author of Newbery Medal winner Sarah, Plain and Tall "I love Ada's bold heart, keen wit, and amazingly fresh point of view. Her story's riveting. I was with her every step of the way." &mdash;Sheila Turnage, author of Newbery Honor book Three Times Lucky "In Ada's small war lies our large hope that love cannot, will not, be overcome. I read this novel in two big gulps." &mdash;Gary D. Schmidt, author of National Book Award finalist Okay for Now

New Readings of the Gabriel Revelation

Hazon Gabriel

"This picture-book biography relies powerfully on Wells&#8217;s own passionate words to tell her story: 'In the past ten years over a thousand black men and women and children have met this violent death at the hands of a white mob. And the rest of America has remained silent.'&#160;The design sets the staunch advocate&#8217;s quotations off from Myers&#8217;s accessible account, printing them in a typeface as bold as their speaker."&#160;
