The story of the two girls who made the game Tampon Run in girls who code! They tell their stories and have cute, funny, and individual voices. Also has coding info at the end. Great for girls interested in coding or other STEM fields. Well done ladies!
I love that there is representation of women in the Gaming Industry. I am a indie game developer myself and feel pretty alone in this industry but this book was amazing seeing their journey and understanding what they went through and thought process throughout. It was a definite ya girl ya book. Definitely recommend other females who are in the Tech industry to check out this book
