How Long Must a Secret Be Kept?

Join us for the launch of the stunning new middle grade historical fiction adventure, The Bletchley Riddle by RUTA SEPETYS & STEVE SHEINKIN! In this thrilling tale, two siblings find themselves in the middle of one of the greatest secrets of WWII, while also trying to locate their missing mother. Could the two puzzles possibly be connected? 

In The Bletchley Riddle, it's summer, 1940. Nineteen-year-old Jakob 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. All the while, baffling messages and codes arrive on their doorstep, and a menacing inspector lurks outside the gates of the Bletchley mansion. Are the messages truly for them, or are they a trap? Could the riddles of Enigma and their mother's disappearance be somehow connected? Can Jakob and Lizzie solve these puzzles before it's too late?
