J’ai bien aimé ce livre, où on retrouve les personnages du premier livre « Click’ed ». Cette fois-ci, Allie doit inventer un app en réutilisant du code déjà inventé.

The first book in the Click'd series was slightly better than this one.

I actually enjoyed this more than Click'd. This story picks up after Click'd with Allie deciding if she wants to go to the same summer camp as last summer or to a new summer program at a high-profile company. She wants to do both, but she can't. She hesitates sending her application for the summer program and doubts whether she would even be accepted. She's afraid to tell her best friend since they were planning on going to CodeGirls together again.
Allie mentions she's going to a game convention as part of the reward she got for being in the competition with Click'd. Her friend loves games and wants to go with her. They look up prices and their parents say it's too expensive.
In school, Allie's class is given an assignment to reuse code in a short amount of time. Allie needs a solution to get enough money to help her best friend from CodeGirls to visit for the game convention. She combines her two goals – the class assignment will be one that can raise enough money to purchase plane tickets. The two work together to build an app, reusing code from their summer projects. It seems like they're going to do it, until Allie's teacher informs her of something and Allie has to choose to ignore it, or continue and get the money. They are so close!
I love how this dilemma reminds Allie of what happened with Click'd and she has to make that tough decision again: does she move forward and get the money to bring Courtney there, or does she shut it all down and tell Courtney they don't have the money? I like how this series handles these ethical issues that many coders have had to deal with in their careers. Sometimes it's hard to look the other way.

Fast-paced, fun and engrossing middle grade sequel. I loved all the characters and was often surprised by the direction of the story.

I hope there is a third one.
Swap'd by Tamara Ireland Stone is the second CodeGirls book. Allie Navarro wants to redeem herself after the fiasco with Click'd. Her advanced computer science teacher has assigned everyone to make programs that uses code already created, basically to learn how to rapid prototype with code libraries, rather than reinventing something each and every time.
Meanwhile, Allie also has tickets to an upcoming coding event and wants her Code Girls buddy Courtney to join her. They have less than a month to get the money together to pay for the flight but with such short notice, flights are expensive.
