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.

Although they're best friends, thirteen-year-old Tori sometimes feels she's more responsible than her fun-loving, financially irresponsible mother. When Great-aunt Muriel's will sets up an inheritance contest, Tori sees the answer to their troubles. The "test of wit and will" involves surviving two weeks as though in colonial times. This lighthearted, amusing novel provides some easily digested history lessons.
