Reviews

"As a teacher in a small, rural district, I spend my own money on various items for my students. This is one of the ​BEST purchases I have made and will continue to purchase for my classes in the years to come. This program integrates coding and reading, and not just any reading but a high interest graphic novel. This program engages my struggling readers and allows low readers to shine with coding skills while at the same time challenges my high-level students. I can not recommend this program enough!" - Robin Kuhn, Educator - Iowa, USA

"What I really appreciated is that the concept of an online graphic novel with coding engaged some of my least engage-able kids and revealed things that we as a staff had never thought about. The first section above is from a kid who has not revealed his thinking to us in any of the manners that we had tried previously. The story is great. The artwork is exquisitely dark and beautiful. The coding lessons are well thought out and I appreciate all the opportunities to practice while levelling up. I’d love to make this the first novel my class reads next school year.” - Iain Brodie - Toronto, Canada

"The story is very interesting. A dystopian future is common in graphic novels, however the execution, is what makes it interesting and unique from most graphic novels. I really enjoy the creativity put into the story. (I also like the illustrations as well. There very well drawn.) The thing that is the most creative about this is “Coding”. When you reach a certain area of the story you go to an area where you get to code, and this is where it gets really interesting." - Student, Grade 7 - Toronto, Canada
