Nine-year-old Ada has never left her one-room flat. Her mother is too humiliated by Ada's twisted foot to let her outside. So when her little brother Jamie is evacuated from London during World War II Ada sneaks out to join him. As Ada teaches herself to ride a pony, learns to read, and watches for German spies, she begins to trust Susan, the woman who has been forced to house the children. And Susan begins to love Ada and Jamie. But will their bond be enough to keep then out of the cruel hands of their mother?
