Publisher's Description of Secret Coders: Paths & Portals
There's something lurking beneath the surface of Stately Academy--literally. In a secret underground classroom Hopper, Eni, and Josh discover that the campus was once home to the Bee School, an institute where teachers, students, and robots worked together to unravel the mysteries of coding. Hopper and her friends are eager to follow in this tradition and become top-rate coders. But why are Principal Dean and the rugby team suddenly so interested in their extracurricular activities?
From graphic novel superstar (and high school computer programming teacher) Gene Luen Yang comes the second volume of Secret Coders, Paths & Portals, a wildly entertaining new series that combines logic puzzles and basic programming instruction with a page-turning mystery plot!

Hopper has just transferred to a new school – a confusing, mysterious place with more questions than answers. It isn't long before she and her fellow classmates Eni and Josh start to notice some odd patterns. The number ‘9' is emblazoned all across campus, there's a robotic turtle that cleans up the campus, and the creepy principal seems to be hiding something big in the basement. And the key to unlocking it all seems to lie in coding! This neat little series invites readers on a journey into programming, with just enough spelled out to let readers solve the mysteries a little ahead of the protagonists.
