This series of books keeps on getting better and better! In addition to coding and friendship, this entry into the series tackles the tough topics of military deployment and anxiety. The fears are portrayed realistically, and the adults model supportive behavior and suggest appropriate solutions. After all of the girl/boy winter dance drama in books 2 & 3, we learn that one of the friends is interested in girls. Thankfully, it is not the softball player. :) This is a non-issue to the coding club, as it should be. Highly recommended for grades 3 & up.

This was like a wonderful punch to the gut. The way they openly discussed mental illness and the impact of therapy while also talking to your friends about your struggles was just magic! I appreciate just how much this series shows the magic and potential of coding. It's a great way to get folks excited about coding and the friendships you can build from it. I wish my introduction to coding was done in this way!!
