About the Bletchley Park Mystery series
I, Spy
Bletchley Park, September 1939
For Robyn, wartime means no more climbing trees and no more swimming in the lake. She’s stuck in a place full of grown-ups and rules and secrets.

But Robyn is convinced there’s something sinister going on at Bletchley Park. Together with her friends Mary and Ned, she sets out to solve the mystery before it’s too late…

Hide and Seek
Manod, Wales, February 1942
Ned had never left Bletchley Park until his mother’s secret war work brought them to Manod, Wales. And not everyone in the remote village is happy about the arrival of strangers.

Then word of their top-secret mission reaches the newspapers, and the community is suddenly in real danger. Can Ned gain the trust of the villagers and keep his mother’s work from falling into enemy hands?
