A simple and wonderful and wholesome story in all the coolest ways. Yang wanted to showcase coding and he did just that. It will now be a series about coding that I will look forward to. In this first story, the main character is now attending a new school, an odd school where everything seems a bit odd. She was a basketball star in her old school and gets into it with a few boys right away. But the strangeness continues and she befriends a boy who together they realize that codes are sending them messages. The three-eyed birds are really just codes, they are able to pick a lock in a mysterious shed at the school where the maintenance guy has a robotic turtle that with coding, does the sweeping/shoveling. It's fast-paced in a sparse but smart way. The characters are endearing and the situations are as much science fiction as they are humorous with a dose of real school drama. Definitely will keep my finger on the pulse of these books.
Great book people who like to code should get this book. It is a great read over the summer to spend time reading a book.
This book is pretty interesting. It is a mystery book, but doesn't take a long time to read. Read the book to find out the mysteries at Stately Academy.
This book was so good! I loved it! My favorite part was when Eni showed Hopper the cool tick with the birds. That was so cool.I can't wait to read the second book!
This book is about 3 kids unraveling the secret of their school. This book teaches you about one aspect about computers and coding, Binary. I enjoyed this book because I love learning about technology. It is also relatable because the main character faces challenges in school, just like any other kid! I can't wait to read the 2nd book!
I've read a book just like this before and it was great!! A amazing read and is just like a comic book plot, minus the comics. Enjoy this heartwarming tale!!
the founder of stately acadamy left puzzles waiting to be solved hopper and eni use their wits to0solve all the secrets of stately acadamy. .
I liked this book because it had robots but it was also kind of weird. People called each other names and I did not like that. Other than that the story was fun.
I liked this book a lot because it had robots. It was kind of scary sometimes and I kind of like that. They called each other names which I didn't like.
