Lucy
is thrilled about the new after school coding club. But its moving too slow for
her, after all the app she wants to create is sort of urgent, to help her uncle
who has cancer. But when she starts getting anonymous notes in computer code,
it leads her to new friends, and a fun journey to solve the puzzles.
This
is a fantastic read with a group of friends and characters that are believable
and relatable. The coding component feels like a natural part of the story
instead of an assignment for the reader. The cover is appealing and I am sure
(especially after next months annual Hour of Code) that this will be a popular
book. Great for 3rd thru 6th grade.
