CLICK'D, by Tamara Ireland Stone

The story: Ada spent the summer at coding camp and has created a fantastic--possibly prize winning--app. When she lets her friends start sharing it, it goes viral...right before a glitch hits--a glitch she's going to have to fix before Saturday's competition. But the worst part is that she might have to ask her nemesis, Nathan Frederickson, for help in order to pull it off. Could things get any worse?

June Cleaver's ratings: Language PG; Violence G; Sexual content G; Nudity G; Substance abuse G; Magic & the occult G; GLBT content G; adult themes G; overall rating G.

Liz's comments: A perfectly adequate book about girls and their friends was (for me) slowed down a bit by all the references to computers and coding. I realize it's a very big thing right now, and that girls are being encouraged to give it a try, but for those who are a little more distanced from the craze, it's a little off-putting. However, girls like me will self-select, so hand this one to anyone who's interested.
