More About the Book: Summer, 1940. Nineteen-year-old Jakob Novis and his quirky younger sister Lizzie share a love of riddles and puzzles. And now they're living inside of one. The quarrelsome siblings find themselves amidst one of the greatest secrets of World War II--Britain's eccentric codebreaking factory at Bletchley Park. As Jakob joins Bletchley's top minds to crack the Nazi's Enigma cipher, fourteen-year-old Lizzie embarks on a mission to solve the mysterious disappearance of their mother.
Kimberly Brubaker Bradley, author of The Night War, calls The Bletchley Riddle "Brilliant! A seamless collaboration produces a genius tale with incredible historical twists! I loved reading this book." --
