If You Like Kimberly Brubaker Bradley Books, You’ll Love…
One of Brubaker Bradley’s most popular books is The War That Saved My Life. This book is set during World War II and follows young Ada who has never left her family’s apartment. Her brother Jamie is sent to London to escape the war and Ada thinks it is her time to get out, and sneaks away from their cruel mother to join him. The kids find Susan Smith who takes them in and they begin to form a new a family, but can they possibly stay together through the war?
Jefferson’s Sons: A Founding Father’s Secret Children is another great book by Brubaker Bradley. This one tells a piece of the darker side of American history as it covers some of Thomas Jefferson’s illegitimate children who were born to a slave mother. The invisible offspring had a rough upbringing and really showed the contradiction between slavery and the freedom that the young American country prided itself on.
