Another lost child random adventure.
Despite the lackluster story, the book does a good job of introducing programming concepts, far better than any of its competitors

learning through stories is the most effective way to learn and retain ideas. it might not be as condensed as a textbook but stories are more entertaining and in that way more memorable.

really entertaining to read! alice in wonderland meets computer science, in a very engaging and humorous way. it did feel a bit flatter than i would like, though i suppose that might not be fair to criticise in a book that treads the line between fiction and non-fiction and errs more on the side of the latter.
