Code with Major Kate and Save Planet Zyskinar
Written by Max Wainewright, Illustrated by Henry Smith
Although this book tends to lose me occasionally, I really liked it. I have a few students who are really into coding and would really appreciate the idea of coding as a game. Throughout the book the reader follows the directions of Major Kate and learns while playing a game about how a program is designed. Instead of a book that goes over coding and tends to be dry and slow…the game makes learning so much fun. I think that this is a much easier way of learning how to code.
