This is a historical fiction with elements of mystery and based on true events, set in 1939 before World War 2.

12 year old Robyn lives with her dad who is a driver in Bletchley Park in England. When the war breaks out, everyone must help in the war effort so she is assigned to carrier pigeon duty helping the allies but Robyn finds a problem in her local area. Can she and her friends make amends?

The author has written it with descriptions and dialogues. She has developed the characters well and has created suspense and mystery. It is dated so it relates to past events.

There is a map of Bletchley Park in the front of the book to aid the readers. The map looks like a sketch and it is drawn by a child. It has labels.

I enjoyed reading this book because I like the historical fiction genre. I really like the map at the front of the book that can aid readers.
