and will be entertaining for kids If my tweens love it I might bump up the rating a notch.Gene Yang was recently named by the Library of Congress as its Ambassador of Young People s Literature, which is especially cool for a comic books guy is his inaugural address, which reveals his passion and his silly sense of humor, perfect for graphic novels for children ...I read this one with my son, and after we finished, he went to the secret coders website, watched Gene Luen Yang s video, downloaded the UCBLogo program, and did one of the coding exercises He s psyched, and can t wait for the next bookPerfect for Maker SpacesWhenever I see Gene Luen Yang has a new book out I get all giddy with excitement And he has done it again and brought us something completely different and unique The

lookslike a haunted house What makes this book so fun and novel is its interaction with the reader Software coding is the topic of the day and Yang weaves this through the first volume by having the characters learn through puzzles and logic reasoning Before the characters are told the answers to the puzzles and riddles they and the reader are asked to solve it themselves This is within the narrative of the story it s not a puzzle book that you write in or anything of that sort This first book in the series teaches binary co...As an extreme enthusiast sucker for anything written by Gene Yang, I sort of expect to have my life changed in deep, fundamental ways every time I open one of his books This book didn t do that, but it was still fun and delightful and I m very glad to have read it The biggest difference from his other work what I v...If you have child in a late elementary grade around 3rd through 5th and you want to introduce them to coding but don t know where to start, get this book This graphic novel presents the idea of coding and programming in a very approachable way I love how the story ties STEM concepts into a fun to be continued mystery We re looking forward to reading Secret Coders 2 And when I say we I mean my 6th grader who h...We re all big fans of Gene Luen Yang here at First Second, and it s really impressive what he s done in this book taking computer programming and turning into an actual narrative story, a la Encyclopedia Brown The story is still fun and interesting and crazy and full of mysterious school mad science problems to solve , but at the same time, you learn how to count in binary and the basics of how programming languages work.And there sstory still to come the next volume will be in st We re all big fans of Gene Luen Yang here

book is about especially when I m at the library or bookstore, and my toddler is giving me literally ten seconds to choose something So, ahem I thought this book was about tween decrypters That sort of coding or decoding I am the least math oriented person, so finding out this book was about coding distressed me I yelped about it to my partner, who is an amazing programmer, and thought I was being hilarious So anyway I could 3.5 starsI often go into reading without an idea of what the book is about especially when I m at the library or bookstore, and my toddler is giving me literally ten

graphic novel Two unlikely friends band together to solve the mysteries at their crazy school while teaching themselves and consequently the reader basic computer coding skills.I actually really liked this book and I think I would have dug it when I was around Hopper s age I remember doing some coding in BASIC when I was right around her age The story explains some basic computer programming principles like how numbers are represented in binary and how computers follow programming commands I think kids who are interested in that sort of thing but don t yet know much about it will get a kick out of it The story does suffer from first in a series dom and it ends with I actually really liked this book and I think I would have dug it when I was around Hopper s age I remember doing some
