Yang, Gene Luen Robots and Repeats (Secret Coders #4), 92 pages. *OBS would like to thank the publisher for supplying a free copy of this title in exchange for an honest review* There is a cliffhanger, so reading the next in the series, Book 5 – Secret Coders: Potions & Parameters, would be the next logical step ☺ The colours used are basic: white, green and shades of grey and black and not distracting as to take away from the lessons being taught.

The layout of the book is in a grid like manner and as such, very easy to read, geared towards a younger reader – the 8-12 age range. One-Zero to be a palatable nemesis who in my mind, drove the Coders to learn and try harder to stop him in his nefarious ways. A few stumbles but once the Coders thought about it (especially Hopper), they caught on and got the coding written correctly to accomplish their goal, which was trying to locate Hopper’s missing dad. I quite enjoyed how the concept of nesting was introduced along with a refresher on binary coding. With respect to the storyline however, it was not a big distraction starting at the fourth book though I do recommend the young reader start from the beginning of the series. Jumping in at the fourth book is probably not the best of plans if you are unfamiliar with coding at all. Secret Coders: Robots & Repeats is the fourth book in the Secret Coders series. This wildly entertaining series combines logic puzzles and basic coding instruction with a page-turning mystery plot! (Goodreads)
