One graphic novel, two reviews.
Summary:
A group of three friends, an evil AI llama, and a lonely kid? What could go wrong?
The three friends, Morgan, Zoey, and Daniel, have successfully handled their Cool Code app. Or so they thought. A kid named Marcus unwittingly downloads the app, and the evil AI llama, CC, slowly manipulates Marcus to break up friendships and do big pranks. It’s up to Morgan, Zoey, and Daniel to fix things before they get out of hand.
Paige’s thoughts:
I must confess that I haven’t read the first book. But the good news is if, like me, you didn’t read the first book, you should be able to read this one without having trouble understanding. The drawings were excellent and cartoony. The palette was sound as well.
Morgan was intelligent. She has a slightly annoying younger sibling. Zoey is a fun character. Daniel is also pretty nice. CC is sneaky and two-faced. Marcus was timid and was very mean after he met CC.
Give this book to fans of coding and a good realistic fiction story.
Laly’s thoughts:
This book was a quick and enjoyable read. All the characters were great personality-wise. Zoey is beautiful, but I disliked Morgan’s fashion choice. This book shows how technology and AI can ruin people’s lives and relationships. It shows that it is essential to disconnect from technology because it doesn’t always tell you to do the right things.
I used to love llamas!
This book is unique, excellent, and creative, with a critical theme.
