Gr 5–8— Saujani, the founder and CEO of Girls Who Code, a national nonprofit organization working to close the gender gap in technology, provides an introduction to coding and the careers that might use it. Besides information on debugging programs and uses for programming skills, there are interviews with people in different code-related careers and profiles of women in the field, such as Margaret Hamilton and Grace Hopper. The author's passion and commitment to the topic is transmitted in her reading of the title.
VERDICT An engaging introduction to computer science and coding that any child interested in computer science and technology should explore.
