The Bletchley Riddle

 

The Bletchley Riddle by Ruta Sepetys and Steve Sheinkin is a juvenile novel that adults would also enjoy.  Lizzie and her brother Jakob live in England at the start of World War II.  Lizzie is supposed to be go to America to be with her grandmother.  She figures out how to remain near her brother Jakob so she can also try to find out what happened to their mother.  This book has adventure and mystery rolled together to give readers another perspective on World War II that I haven't seen in many novels.  It would make a decent read aloud to older elementary or middle school students.
