Emmy in the Key of Code

In this innovative middle grade novel, coding and music take center stage as new girl Emmy tries to search out her place in a new school. Best possible for fans of the Girls Who Code series and The Crossover.

In a new city, at a new school, twelve-year-old Emmy has never felt more out of tune.

Things begin to look up when she takes her first coding class, all of a sudden connecting with the material—and Abigail, a new friend—through a shared language: music. But if Emmy gets bad news about their computer teacher, and finds out Abigail isn’t being entirely honest about their friendship, she feels like her new life is screeching to a halt.

Despite these obstacles, Emmy is made up our minds to turn out one thing: that, for the primary time ever, she isn’t a unsuitable note, but a musician on this planet’s most beautiful symphony.
