I'm not gonna lie, I have no clue what Blizzy code is, but after reading this book I have to say it sounds pretty cool! This book is made up of 14 chapters, each with a different group of characters, including one in the tween-ish years, each facing some kind of problem that can be solved by this Blizzy code technology. For example, a germaphobe mother who does not want to enter the mall at Christmas (not sure I've ever related to a mother character so much in my life lol!) uses a 360 Blizzy Code app to explore the mall from the safety of outdoors! I could definitely see middle grade kids loving this book. It is a chapter book but really it is just a bunch of short vignettes all about technology, I know lots of kids who'd be saying "where can I find this book?" The content, while intimidating for low-tech people like me, is actually really straight forward and relatively easy to understand. There are a mix of female and male main characters so it will be fairly easy for most readers to relate to at least a few characters and I think it would get them hooked on Blizzy code and wanting to know more. As a teacher I would recommend this book for parents and teachers of students in the middle grades, approximately ages 8-12, especially those interested in STEM. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read this fabulous book!
