Review

Book three in the Secret Coders series. Hopper, Josh and Eni are back at Stately Academy trying to stop the evil Principal Dean and the testosterone-driven rugby team. They learn that Principal Dean is not their biggest enemy, Professor Bee may not be what they thought he was, Hopper's dad may not have left on his own, sometimes even rugby players have a heart, and that coding might just save the world. These books, with their green-tinged panels, are great for students who love the combination of adventure and coding. They would be great for a coding club or class or they can be read on their own as an action story because while the books ask the reader to solve what will happen using the code, they also show what the Coders end up doing with the code. This volume once again ends with a cliffhanger and your hooked audience will want to know what happens next.

Overall Book Score: good
