Twelve-year-old Robyn has grown up in Bletchley Park, where her father works as a driver.
When she's not at school, there's nothing she likes more than helping her dad in the garages. Then the war begins and everything at Bletchley changes. Robyn is assigned to help with the carrier pigeons that take messages to the Allies. But first, she must sign the Official Secrets Act and is ordered not to leave the grounds of the park.
While Bletchley is buzzing with people recruited for the war effort and all eyes are on the skies, Robyn becomes convinced that there's something sinister going on within Bletchley Park itself.
Together with her friends Mary and Ned, Robyn resolves to uncover the enemy in their midst . .
Rhian Tracey was born in Swansea and grew up on the Welsh borders. I, Spy and Hide and Seek draw on her own Welsh heritage and interviews and research about the movement of priceless artwork during WWII.
As Rhian Ivory, the author has previously published The Boy Who Drew the Future and Hope . She got her first publishing deal at 26.
Rhian teaches several days a week in a SEN department, working with students who have dyslexia, dyspraxia, autism, ADD and other additional learning needs. She also volunteers with Medical Detection Dogs, helping to train puppies who will go on to be assistance dogs. Rhian lives in Northamptonshire with her children and dog.

A Spoonful of Murder A Murder Most Unladylike Mystery
A hugely enjoyable (and educational!) adventure story set in Bletchley Park during WWII.
This enjoyable, fast-moving story of the exploits of three thirteen-year-old friends, who join forces to uncover the reason for some rather strange, secretive ‘goings on’ at Bletchley Park during the first year of WWII, is reminiscent of the ‘Famous Five’ type of adventure stories enjoyed by generations of children and will, I’m sure, particularly appeal to 10/13-year-old children. Each of the main characters is well-drawn and, with Robyn being portrayed as a bit of a nature-loving tomboy whose long-held wish is to become an apprentice in her father’s garage; Mary, a mixed-race evacuee from Liverpool, being intellectually very bright and aspiring, and Ned, son of the local undertaker, being more self-effacing and anxious than either of the girls, the author not only avoided any traditional stereotyping, but has probably encouraged some aspirational thinking in her young readers!...
