Description
Get with the program, and read the complete Secret Coders saga from start to finish! Meet Hopper, Eni, and Josh as they write their first line of code, and join them for their final showdown with Professor One-Zero. This deluxe boxed set collects all six volumes of the action-packed graphic novel series by New York Times-bestselling author Gene Luen Yang plus a set of six collectable character cut-outs. In Secret Coders, graphic-novel superstar (and former computer programming teacher) Gene Luen Yang and artist Mike Holmes deliver a wildly entertaining story that combines logic puzzles and basic coding instruction with a page-turning mystery plot!
Reviews
"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
"Secret Coders not only uses Logo but also touches on computer fundamentals like binary code and the three major ways that code is organized . . . Readers will learn them all, right alongside Hopper and Eni, not as something dry or rote, but something transformative." --Wired
