The Power Coders are headed to the first-ever Youth App Fest. They hope to win money for new computers with their app idea, a chat bot based on Tommy's dog, Jack. One of the coders, Peter, has been acting distant lately. He claims to be too sick to go. The team is crushed. However, he says they can contact him on a new messaging app. The Power Coders go to App Fest and realize that even though chatting with Peter on the app is fun, they need him there to win. Soon, it's clear something is up with Peter, if that's really who they've been talking to. This is a book about collaboration, artificial intelligence, friendship, and a major mystery.

In this volume, the kids in the Power Coders Club embark on a new adventure. This time, they use their computational thinking skills to investigate the secret of the five bugs, working to solve a problem that causes havoc throughout their school. Readers will follow along as the five youthful coders use their knowledge to find the answers they need to solve the problem. The club members work together to test their programming and code-debugging skills. Colorful illustrations, humorous situations, and solid computational thinking skills will keep young coders reading to discover how the club deals with these problematic bugs.

"What's that tapping?" A rhythmic tapping in their classroom confuses the members of the Power Coders Club, but they realize they don't have the skills needed to solve this mystery. However, they do have the skills needed to find a "simulated friend," a real person in the school who has the talents they currently lack. Using data analysis, the club members put their heads together to find the best student to help them. The Power Coders work together with their new friend to discover the source of the cryptic, rhythmic tapping. The colorful illustrations, humorous dialogue, and coding examples are sure to keep readers entertained as they learn a real-world application for data analysis and computational thinking.

In one of their most bizarre adventures yet, the Power Coders become stuck in a time loop! The kids are forced to relive a short sequence of events over and over. Luckily, together they have the computational thinking skills needed to recognize the loop and form a plan to break out of it, if they can stop thinking about cupcakes! After recording and analyzing the peculiar sequence of events, the young coders use their knowledge of loops, logic, and Boolean expressions to discover the source of the mystery. Colorful artwork, amusing dialogue, and an antibullying approach help make this narrative both entertaining and informative.

While mentoring a group of younger children at a local museum, the Power Coders recognize a chance to spread their programming knowledge to others. A medieval unicorn tapestry, coding skills, and a fascination with Minecraft come together in this inspiring and humorous narrative. The Power Coders and their young friends must complete a project about the unicorn. Naturally, the Power Coders decide to get coding. They guide the younger kids in understanding Minecraft mods and how to debug a program. This turns out to be the perfect way to encourage a reluctant girl who's more interested in Minecraft than art or coding.

Even when they try to relax, the Power Coders get swept up in a coding challenge! While on the way to a local park, Tommy explains to the Power Coders that his brother, Evan, is making a robot for a battle bot competition. Evan may know how to build a robot, but can he create the code needed to make it work? He will after the Power Coders lend him a hand. Readers will enjoy the Power Coders' latest coding challenge, which includes a glimpse into robotics and an introduction to Arduino microprocessors, as well as a thrilling battle bot finish.
