A Peculiar Sequence of Events

by Amanda Vink

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.

I don't think it's ever really explained *why* their real world was caught in a loop or who created it, other than to correct a cosmic wrong. There are limits to how much sense this story made.
