review:
'Alan Turing' by Ma Isabel Sanchez Vegara with illustrations by Ashling Lindsay is the story of the man who helped break the Nazi code and win the war.

Alan Turing grew up in England with his friend Christopher. When Christopher died, Alan threw himself into his work of creating a computing machine. Alan Turing did great work for England, and in return was not recognized until many years after his life.

Alan Turing's story is a difficult one, so I wondered how they would approach it for children. It works, but there are odd gaps. It's obvious in the book that Alan loves Christopher and is gay, but details are a bit missing, as they probably should have been. The illustrations are lovely and befitting this man's life.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Childrens, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
