The Enigma Game by Elizabeth Wein

Text from the back cover:


1940.

Facing a seemingly endless war, fifteen-year-old Louisa Adair accepts a position caring for an elderly German woman in the small village of Windyedge, Scotland.  In Windyedge, Ellen McEwen, a volunteer driver with the Royal Air Force, and Jamie Beaufort-Stuart, a squadron flight leader, are facing a barrage of unbreakable code and enemy attacks they can't anticipate.  Then a German pilot lands in Windyedge under mysterious circumstances and plants a key that leads Louisa to an unparalleled discovery: an Enigma machine that translates German code.  Louisa, Ellen, and Jamie must work together to unravel a puzzle that could turn the tide of the war -- but puts them directly in the crosshairs of the enemy.
