FROM SARAH:

I didn't know anything about this time in history, but this book came highly recommended to me, so I gave it a try. And boy, did it deliver! I especially loved the audio. For historical fiction readers and teens (I think 14+). Wonderful on audio (Audible | LibroFM).

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

FROM SARAH:

The Bletchley Riddle is an exciting middle-grade novel about the top-secret WWII location, Bletchley Park. It's based on the true setting of the Allied codebreakers stationed here, doggedly working to decrypt German ciphers, including the elusive Enigma machine. The book is told in alternating viewpoints--from one of the codebreakers, desperate to break Enigma's code, to his intrepid, plucky sister, determined to discover the truth behind their mother's unexplained disappearance. I loved reading this one for myself!

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

A thrilling mystery and collaboration between award-winning and bestselling authors Ruta Sepetys and Steve Sheinkin! This historical adventure follows two siblings at Bletchley Park, the home of WWII codebreakers, as they try to unravel a mystery surrounding their mother’s disappearance.
