Synopsis

In this innovative middle grade novel, coding and music take center stage as new girl Emmy tries to find her place in a new school. Perfect for fans of GIRLS WHO CODE series and THE CROSSOVER. In a new city, at a new school, twelve-year-old Emmy has never felt more out of tune. Things start to look up when she takes her first coding class, unexpectedly connecting with the material-and Abigail, a new friend-through a shared language: music. But when Emmy gets bad news about their computer teacher, and finds out Abigail isn't being entirely honest about their friendship, she feels like her new life is screeching to a halt. Despite these obstacles, Emmy is determined to prove one thing: that, for the first time ever, she isn't a wrong note, but a musician in the world's most beautiful symphony.

Goodreads review by Laura

I was so close to giving this 5 stars, because up until the very last page of the book, I loved everything about it! However, I was disappointed in the ending, so I've gone down to 4 stars (it didn't satisfy me that there was a major plot point that was left hanging). I loved how this book mixed code......more
