Title: “The Bletchley Riddle”

Author: Ruta Sepetys & Steve Sheinkin

Publisher: Viking Books for Young Readers

Pub Date: October 8, 2024

Summary: 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.

Review: “Two powerhouse authors collaborate on an enormously entertaining, expertly researched WWII novel with broad appeal…The authors successfully blend genuine suspense, sibling relationship issues, and humorous hijinks to create a tone both heartfelt and playful…Perfect for fans of Alan Gratz, this is an excellent fictional companion to Candace Fleming’s The Enigma Girls (2024)…Both masters of their craft, Sepetys and Sheinkin’s collaboration will draw fiction and nonfiction fans, not to mention a code-breaking coterie.”
