Allie spent all summer at
a coding camp and returns for a new year at middle school excited to show off
the new app she created--Click'd. Its a game that allows you to connect with
other users and make new friends, and Allie is prepared to compete with it at a
gaming competition next weekend. However, just as the game really takes off at
Mercer Middle School, Allie discovers a defect that threatens the privacy of
players as well as the stability of her game. Allie will have to fix her game
and find a way to make the ensuing mess right for everybody.
I absolutely loved
this book from start to finish. The story is well-written and feels very real
and modern. The story moves quickly but never feels rushed. I liked that the
book was 100% free of language, violence or mature content. And I especially
appreciated reading a book about coding that is aimed at girls, but that boys
can enjoy too. This is an absolutely essential pick for middle school and upper
elementary readers.
