Coding Capers: Luci and the Missing Robot is a sweet, STEM filled book!

I love that I am seeing more books surrounding engineering, technology and STEM. In my youth, there was not a giant market for that so a lot of us kids (mainly girls) didn't know that was an option. Having a premise like this is absolutely excellent and I think it was quite fun! Introduction to coding and robots is a must for kids these days. Hence, why I think this book is super important!

The story is weird for me though. There are points where the little adventure/treasure hunt the kids go on gets quite confusing. It's not the information that's presented that's confusing, it's just the overall arc of the story. Like a lot of books I've picked up lately, with just a few more edits I think this could be a really good book.

This book will definitely have a strong audience base, but some readers will not enjoy it at all. It's one of those niche type books that will be hit and miss.

I think the art and style in the book is one of it's strong points. I really thought it was colourful and pretty. It keeps the attention of the reader and gives them something to look at.

To top it off, at the end of the book there is some extra resources available. This provides a little more education and can be supplemental to the reader.

Three out of five stars.

I received this book for free via NetGalley.… (mehr)
