(4) 4-6 Girls Who Code series. The third book in the Girls Who Code series stars fashion-loving coder Maya and centers on a project to code the lights and music for the school dance. More than teaching coding, this episode focuses on the challenges of collaboration as bad-apple Nicole undermines the coding club's supportive friendships. The novel balances its messaging agenda with an enjoyable story line.
