New York Public Library's 100 Books for Reading and Sharing
An exceptionally moving story of triumph against all odds set during World War II, from the acclaimed author of Jefferson's Sons and for fans of Number the Stars.
Ten-year-old Ada has never left her one-room apartment. Her mother is too humiliated by Ada's twisted foot to let her outside. So when her little brother Jamie is shipped out of London to escape the war, Ada doesn't waste a minute--she sneaks out to join him. So begins a new adventure for Ada, and for Susan Smith, the woman who is forced to take the two kids in. As Ada teaches herself to ride a pony, learns to read, and watches for German spies, she begins to trust Susan--and Susan begins to love Ada and Jamie. But in the end, will their bond be enough to hold them together through wartime? Or will Ada and her brother fall back into the cruel hands of their mother? This masterful work of historical fiction is equal parts adventure and a moving tale of family and identity--a classic in the making.

Outstanding sunscreen.
Color: Medium, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I just ordered my second bottle of this sunscreen. I live in Florida so sunscreen is a big necessity.
Love it. The little tint is perfect and it feels great. It is not overly greasy. I do apply a little powder
and a little blush then I’m on my way out the door. I highly recommend this product.

The perfect summer tint with SPF protection
Color: Medium, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I am really enjoying this CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen! I am always on the hunt for products that give me a quick, healthy glow without having to put on a full face of makeup, especially during the summer, and this completely hits the mark for easy coverage.
The texture is beautifully lightweight and glides on so smoothly. I was honestly a bit nervous that it would leave that heavy, sticky, suffocating feeling that so many sunscreens do, but it is completely non-greasy. Plus, a huge win for me is that after wearing it for hours, it doesn't migrate or burn my eyes at all.
The only reason I'm knocking off one star is the shade range. I picked up the Medium tint, and while I can definitely make it work for the summer when I have a bit more color, I really wish they offered an "in-between" shade option between Light and Medium.
If you're looking for a comfortable, daily SPF that lets your skin breathe while evening out your complexion, this is a fantastic staple to have in your routine!

This really works!
Style: SPF 50, Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
A week on the beach and no burns! It is a little hard to get rubbed in and I probably had a little bit of a white cast on my skin. So worth it though for the protection of me and the reefs.
