Secret Coders Volume Five: Potions and Parameters by Gene Luen Yang and Mike Holmes
See my reviews of volumes one and two one, two, three, and four!
The trio from Stately Academy find Hopper's dad. They are too late, however, because he's been fed Dr. One-Zero's Green Pop. It makes Dad perfectly content...by staring at the color green and nothing else. They also discover One-Zero's plan to poison the city. Unfortunately, they lose the most powerful turtle--a robot made of light that can build things from solid light. Now the trio has to travel to a strange world to get a replacement with which they can continue the fight against the evil doctor's schemes.
The story takes a fairly fun twist, revealing the background of Professor Bee (the adult good guy) and explaining why he has no nose. The programming is getting progressively harder and readers still have the chance to practice their own coding skills before the characters write their program.
Recommended.
