Emmy in the Key of Code

I read Emmy in the Key of Code by Aimee Lucido for my girls' book club. The book description reads, "In a new city, at a new school, twelve-year-old Emmy has never felt more out of tune. Things start to look up when she takes her first coding class, unexpectedly connecting with the material—and Abigail, a new friend—through a shared language: music. But when 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 determined to prove one thing: that, for the first time ever, she isn’t a wrong note, but a musician in the world’s most beautiful symphony."

This was a nice read. It was written in verse and so pretty quick to get through, and I thought the author wrote it in a fun way (involving coding language/format in how she wrote some parts). The book was engaging with characters I rooted for. Not much else to say since it's been a couple months since I read it. :) I made a virtual escape room for the girls in the book club here: https://sites.google.com/view/emmyinthekeyofcode/home
