Code Girls: The True Story of the American Women Who Secretly Broke Codes in World War II by Liza Mundy

5.0

At first I was worried I wouldn’t like this book since it was written with young readers in mind, but I read this version anyway because it’s what my library had. It’s very well done. The history and information is there and doesn’t seem to be lacking the important story, while still being easy to digest for a young reader. Still as an adult, I found the book interesting and intriguing to get through and may pick up the full adult version later. This book would be a great way to introduce a kid to historical nonfiction, and the code breakers are a topic often glossed over in many classes, especially the women’s role in the process.
