pickMiddle grade historical fiction set at Bletchley Park during WWII. Lizzie is a clever girl who escapes her guardian who is supposed to take her from London to her grandmother in Cleveland. She joins her brother, a code breaker, at Bletchley Park and investigates their mothers disappearance.
"But let's be honest, shall we? When adults tell a child or a teenager that they're precocious, what they're really saying is, 'Please don't say that aloud.'"

pickI absolutely loved this book for so many reasons. Next I love books based on historical events, especially ones I am not familiar with. This book starts off with a riddle and I was hooked. I fell in love with Lizzie. Her character was so funny I would laugh out loud. This was a fantastic book and both authors worked so well together with their writing. This book is definitely a winner in my opinion and I would highly recommend it.
I think I'm an outlier here, but I didn't really enjoy this as much as I'd hoped. I thought it was a really interesting premise but I found the writing to be clunky. This definitely reads as more of a middle-grade book, so perhaps this would have worked better if at least Lizzie was younger.
