Between the integrated logic and the consciously diverse cast, A WONDERFUL SERIES LAUNCH.

TECH CRUNCH (7.8 million uvpm) featured the Girls Who Code fiction series in a piece, "Please let The Friendship Code and its tech-savvy girls be the new Baby-Sitters Club."

[A] fast read about a sixth-grade girl who can't wait to get started at her new coding club at school and works with her friends to solve a mystery. The story has A DIVERSE GROUP OF CHARACTERS and includes real-life struggles, such as an uncle battling cancer and a mother getting divorced. PARENTS WHO WANT TO INTRODUCE THEIR KIDS TO CODING/COMPUTER SCIENCE MIGHT ENJOY READING THIS, TOO.

[A] FRESH SERIES STARTER. Readers will appreciate the characters' diversity of interests and their love of coding.. A complex topic made ACCESSIBLE; recommended for elementary and middle school libraries and for collections that serve budding coders.
