A thrilling mystery adventure set in Bletchley Park at the start of
World War II, based on true historical events. Twelve-year-old
Robyn has grown up in Bletchley Park, where her father works as a
driver. When she's not at school, there's nothing she likes more
than helping her dad in the garages. Then the war begins and
everything at Bletchley changes. Robyn is assigned to help with the
carrier pigeons that take messages to the Allies. But first, she
must sign the Official Secrets Act and is ordered not to leave the
grounds of the park. While Bletchley is buzzing with people
recruited for the war effort and all eyes are on the skies, Robyn
becomes convinced that there's something sinister going on within
Bletchley Park itself. Together with her friends Mary and Ned,
Robyn resolves to uncover the enemy in their midst . . . A gripping
wartime story, perfect for fans of Phil Earle, Robin Stevens,
Lesley Parr and Hilary McKay.
Four girls - Mary, Bea, Meena and Atlanta are thrown together -
picked for very different reasons by their teacher - to form a book
review club where their discussions and reviews will be heard on
air on radio, chaired and presented by the incredibly cool Jazz. As
the girls gradually relax with each other and talk more and more
animatedly about what they think about the different books, they
find they are learning from each other as well as about each other.
And so they become friends. Until one day Mary does the
unforgivable and, having flirted outrageously with Bea's new
boyfriend, makes an all-out play for him. The tender new friendship
of the foursome is fractured as the ramifications spill out as a
rseult of what Mary has done. Narrated by the different characters
in turn, this is fresh, contemporary and compulsive writing that
every teenager will identify with, charting as it does the
insecurities, the pushing at boundaries, and the tests of
friendship that can be real moral choices that characterise growing
up the world over.
