review:
'Code Your Own Adventure' by Max Wainewright with illustrations by Henry Smith is a workbook with 4 projects for kids to learn coding.

Using the program language Scratch, readers are guided to build out 4 different games and scenarios. They draw some of the characters they will use, and some are included (like bananas is, apparently). The reader builds on previous concept in the individual stories, and is told to save often. The adventures include explorers and pirates.

It seems aimed at fairly young kids, but, to me, it seems like it ramps up pretty quickly and explanations seems a bit brief. The steps are all laid out, so the reader is really just copying the steps. Some of the concepts are explained out, but I wish there had been a bit more explanation or a better glossary in the back.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group-QEB and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
