Click'd

In Tamara Ireland Stone's "Click'd," Allie Navarro, a talented coder, creates a popular app that pairs users for scavenger hunts. The app quickly goes viral, bringing new connections and excitement to her school. However, Allie soon discovers a serious glitch that threatens to expose personal secrets, jeopardizing her friendships and her reputation. This middle-grade novel explores themes of friendship, responsibility, and the ethics of technology, as Allie navigates the pressure to fix her app, reconcile with hurt friends, and compete in a major coding contest. It's a compelling story for readers aged 8-12, offering insights into coding and social dynamics.

Allie Navarro can't wait to show her best friends the app she built at CodeGirls summer camp. CLICK'D pairs users based on common interests and sends them on a fun (and occasionally rule-breaking) scavenger hunt to find each other. And it's a hit. But when Allie discovers a glitch that threatens to expose everyone's secrets, she has to figure out how to make things right. Can Allie fix her app, stop it from doing any more damage, and win back the friends it hurt - all before she steps on stage to present CLICK'D to the judges at the youth coding competition?
