A New York Times bestseller! Perfect for fans of The Babysitters Club and anyone interested in computer science, this series is published in partnership with the organization Girls Who Code.
Loops, variables, input/output – Lucy can’t wait to get started with the new coding club at school. Finally, an after school activity that she’s really interested in. But Lucy’s excitement turns to disappointment when she’s put into a work group with girls she barely knows. All she wanted to do was make an app that she believes will help someone very special to her.
Suddenly, Lucy begins to get cryptic coding messages and needs some help translating them. She soon discovers that coding – and friendship – takes time, dedication, and some laughs!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this sweet and informative tale, Lucy joins the middle school coding club and is assigned to a group with three other girls she barely knows. The girls work together and form a bond of friendship while deciphering coded messages and, in the process, learning about inputs and outputs and how to create conditional, looping, and variable clauses. Classically trained voice artist Johnson expertly creates authentic and consistent voices for Sophia, Maya, and Erin, as well as Lucy's older brother and the girls' caring and knowledgeable teacher. Though it becomes a bit tedious and pulls the listener away from the story line, Johnson accurately reads all four coded messages with each open and closed parentheses, underscore, curly bracket, and semicolon. This audiobook, first in a series, succeeds in presenting a story that will encourage young children to become interested in computer programming. Ages 8 12. A Penguin Workbook hardcover.
