The Bletchley Riddle by Ruta Sepetys & Steve Sheinkin**

 Jakob has been working at Bletchley Park, a code-breaking facility trying decipher the Nazi's Engima cipher. When his sister Lizzie avoids her journey to America, he is forced to share his room with her and have her join the secret group at Bletchley Park. Within minutes she proves her worth and wins over the Colonel. 

Two plots will engage the reader-the progression of deciphering at Bletchley Park and Lizzie's attempt  (& then Jakob's) of trying to find the truth about their mother's disappearance. 

Very engaging and interesting! I loved Lizzie (I usually don't care for female characters). This book is full of humor & hope despite the sobering setting & plot.

**Highly, highly recommend.
