Book Guide

Elizebeth Friedman dedicated her life to cracking codes and deciphering secret messages. Until recently, her role in taking down Nazis and outsmarting criminals had been hidden away with her classified files, stamped TOP SECRET ULTRA. With just paper, pencil, and her sharp wit, Elizebeth thwarted smugglers, uncovered spy rings, and even cracked the unbreakable Enigma codes. Author Laurie Wallmark and illustrator Brook Smart reveal Elizebeth's accomplishments and bring her incredible true story to light.

Perfect for inquisitive minds and creative thinkers, this picture book biography will inspire readers to take a crack at code breaking and creating their own secret messages—there are several hidden in this book!
