I liked this book because I learned to do binary numbers. I also learned to do coding which involves a lot of computer stuff.

This book- i really like it because it is a mystery, and I love mystery. I think they realized something fishy was going on when they were making the students do weird mysteries.

funny book about this girl who moves to a new school called stately academy where she find weird secrets about the school she is very cool. love this book!

stately acadamey is a school with mysteries the founder of the school left many clues eni and hopper are determined to solve every mystery with their wits and brains

this book is cool because funny. p.s AWSOME!

I like this because it has fighting

I love this amazing book. It is a fun short read about "secret" coders and how they are trying learn things about the school through coding. There are weird birds who have 4 eyes representing the binary language of 1s and 0s for open and close. This is a fun short read that some beginner coders can be inspired by learning some basics of binary language "language that computers read." Overall, I loved this book since I am a coder and recommend it to many others.

Hopper and Eni from Stately Academy set of to solve the mystery of Stately Academy using their amazing coding skills. I found this book profoundly interesting as it is a graphic novel.

This graphic book was educational in coding skills. It is 88 pages which can be easily read in 15 minutes by the average reader. The plot isn't the best, but overall, it was okay. With her mother a teacher at a new school, and her father gone by divorce, Hopper has to go to a new town and the new school her mom works at. Hopper hates her new school. The birds have weird eyes, a lot of people are cranky and mean, and there are numbers everywhere. Hopper makes one friend, Eni, and he shows her a cool binary trick with the birds. Late at night, Hopper and Eni open a safe that leads to a robotic turtle. Together, they try out interesting steps that makes the robot move. With the help of their new friend, Josh, they found a secret passageway. In it, they find the janitor, who gives them a challenge that balances if they stay at their school. Read the next book, Paths and Portals, to find out what happens next!

this was a nice short book that satisfied my need for a mystery. When Hopper goes to a new schoolshe is surprised by all the nines and the creepy birds. her new friend, Eni, shows her how to control the birds, and together they learn the vocal codes for a robot turtle. this is really good and computer geeks will like this.
