I was really looking forward to reading a period themed story, and this adventure - I, Spy by Rhian Tracey - set in World War II was just perfect. The beautiful cover also painted a picture of what to expect from this mystery.
Living with her parents on the Bletchley Park Estate, Robyn gets asked to take part in some important war work by helping in the pigeon loft. Here, she helps prepare the pigeons for their special flying missions to take and bring back messages from enemy territory.
All the work at Bletchley is top secret, but Robyn soon starts to notice some very strange goings on, on the estate. Along with her friends Mary and Ned, they start a whole host of explorations and daring escapades and discover nothing is as it seems.
This is such a great story that keeps you guessing right to the end. It is very informative about the period in this unique setting during the early years of World War II.
I loved it and would definitely recommend it for its unusual location, a great variety of characters, and its glimpse into history.
