Sasha Savvy loves to code

Sasha Savvy decides to give Coding Camp a chance even though she thinks it will be boring. She also doesn't think that she is good with computer stuff. Sasha's mom, a software developer, gives her a unique formula to help her remember how to code. Hopefully it will be enough to get her through a challenging first day of camp with bugs everywhere, computing errors, that is.

Emmy in the key of code

Twelve-year-old Emmy feels out of place in her new school. She takes a computer coding class and instantly connects to the material as well as to a new friend, Abigail--a talented singer who secretly wishes to be a coder--and Emmy feels she's finally starting to find her footing. Then she finds out that the teacher who so inspired her is gravely ill and her new-found stability seems to be at risk. Told through prose, verse, and Java code.
