At long last, the Coders have found Hopper's missing father—but he's not the same. He drank Professor One-Zero's poisonous concoction, Green Pop. Now he's in a blissful stupor and all he cares about is the color green.

Professor One-Zero won't stop until the whole town has joined his "green revolution." There's only one weapon that can defeat him, and unfortunately, it's in another dimension. But that won't stop Hopper, Eni, and Josh!

From graphic novel superstar (and former computer programming teacher) Gene Luen Yang, Secret Coders is a wildly entertaining series that combines logic puzzles and basic coding instruction with a page-turning mystery plot!

Industry Reviews

Praise for the Secret Coders series:

"Gene Luen Yang's talent is prodigious, his enthusiasm contagious . . . Even this confirmed technophobe was ready to learn coding." --Katherine Applegate, author of Crenshaw and The One and Only Ivan

"Gene Yang brings computer coding to life." --Entertainment Weekly

"By the end of Secret Coders, readers will learn the three major ways that code is organized, right alongside Hopper and Eni, not as something dry or rote, but something transformative." --Wired

"While the coding instruction's as top-notch as ever, in this installment it's interpersonal dynamics and characters that, satisfyingly, take center stage."--Kirkus
