Description

The Coders always knew their programming skills would take them far, but they never guessed it would take them to another dimension! To save humanity, they must travel to the two-dimensional world of Flatland. Only there they can acquire a weapon powerful enough to defeat Dr. One-Zero, but to open the gateway to Flatland, they must write their most difficult code yet! From graphic novel superstar (and former computer-programming teacher) Gene Luen Yang, Secret Coders is a wildly entertaining series that combines logic puzzles and basic coding instruction with a page-turning mystery plot!

Reviews

"Though readers may be sad to say goodbye to the world and characters, it's been a glitch-free runtime, and they'll be satisfied at the final bits and bytes." --Kirkus

"Gene Luen Yang's talent is prodigious, his enthusiasm contagious . . . Even this confirmed technophobe was ready to learn coding." --Katherine Applegate, author of Crenshaw and The One and Only Ivan

"Gene Yang brings computer coding to life." --Entertainment Weekly

"By the end of Secret Coders, readers will learn the three major ways that code is organized, right alongside Hopper and Eni, not as something dry or rote, but something transformative." --Wired
