For fans of Raina Telgemeier and Kayla Miller comes the second graphic novel in the funny slice-of-life Cool Code series.

Morgan, Zoey, and Daniel discover that the popularity AI they've coded is being used to wreak mischief and destroy friendships in their school. It's up to them to fix the glitch!

When the coding club finds that their app has a malicious user, Morgan, Zoey, and Daniel code an update to contend with a mischievous AI llama that's guiding a not-so-popular kid named Marcus to cause chaos in the school.

Annoying little siblings, chaotic pranks, and more abound as they race to repair the glitchy app—and their own friendships—in their school before the damage is irreversible.

      AI antics abound in this graphic sequel. In this follow-up to The Cool Code (2022), the trio of coding friends--Zoey, Morgan, and Daniel--once again face C.C., their adorable yet mischievous llama AI. After leaving a program open on a public computer, their proprietary popularity-making software falls into the lap of Marcus, a shy sixth grader who's virtually invisible among his classmates. When C.C. advises him to gain notoriety through ostentatious pranks and social division, Morgan immediately realizes what has happened. She, Zoey, and Daniel must change C.C.'s algorithms before it's too late, but when a programming error makes a clone of C.C., Morgan decides she must stop Marcus and C.C. herself. This sophomore effort follows closely in the footsteps of its predecessor, with peppy pacing and pleasing, full-color illustrations with a contemporary slant. The characterizations can feel thin, however, alongside a noticeable lack of actual coding (there are just vague glimpses of screens), which may leave readers underwhelmed and frustrated. A tidy resolution buttons up loose ends neatly but feels a bit forced and saccharine. Despite these missteps, thanks to the growth of AI, this installment will have appeal due to its subject matter and alluring visuals. Zoey and Marcus read white; Daniel appears Black, and Morgan is cued Asian. Timely but doesn't quite hit its mark. (Graphic fantasy. 8-12)
