Review

This is the 5th volume in a series that combines logic puzzles and coding instruction, with a mystery plot thrown in for good measure! Professor One-Zero creates a poisonous potion called Green Pop, and he'll stop at nothing to get the whole world taking it. Hopper, Eni, and Josh put their coding skills to the test in order to get through a portal that will take them to another dimension where they can access a way to stop the professor from ruining the world. I found this to be a fun and interesting way for kids to learn coding, & maybe be introduced to Sci-Fi genre. There are as many twists and turns to this story as there are lines of code. A great introduction to Sci-Fi and coding!

Overall Book Score: very good
