  I hope there is a third book. I need to know what will happen between the main characters. I skip my science homework, so I can finished. Now I need to get back to studying.

  Swap’d was a very good sequel to Click’d, other than the fact that it was basically the exact same plot. Allie builds an app, the whole school and other people love it, it crashes, and she teams up with Nathan to fix it. I enjoyed finally meeting Courtney, who was a very likable character.
  And, okay, honestly, “Hey, Three! Hey, Six!” has got NOTHING on “Allie-gator”!

  While this book wasn't as good as the first one, it was still pretty good! I should definitely pick up some more middle grade in the future when I need something more focused on adventure and exploring the world.

  AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
  
  Allie's newest assignment in Computer Science challenges her to mix up and reuse code from a variety of different projects--hers and friends--to create something new. With her CodeGirls friend, Courtney, she creates a new app called Swap'd that allows kids at school to buy and sell things in an auction-based game. Swap'd is an overnight success and Allie thinks it could make her a shoo-in for the summer Hackathon program--if she can finally decide to apply. The money from Swap'd will help her bring Courtney out for a visit during the Game Con weekend, and she might even be able to use the app to finagle a meeting with the cute boy she's flirted with on the bus! Everything seems to be falling into place--until it becomes apparent Allie hasn't actually thought of everything to make all these perfect plans work.
  
  I loved Stone's first book featuring Allie and the CodeGirls--Click'd--and this one is no different. Its a great story that will appeal especially to a rising generation of computer coders, but really any young reader can appreciate it. I also really love that the book is totally clean (there is only one super tame swear toward the very end) and feels very realistic in its telling. I hope she writes more!

  3.5 ⭐️
  
  Fun, entertaining, superficial
  
  Allie has a great idea for her upcoming coding project for school that will also bring Courtney to California! It will solve all her problems. Until it makes more…
  
  If you’re looking for an easy read with all the middle school vibes and a female coder… this book is for you!! (Read Click’d first 🙃). But, if your looking for an inspiring and deep book, maybe save this one for later.
  
  I enjoyed reading this but it just didn’t have a lot of substance besides the stuff on the surface. It was slow at times but also had done fun parts.
  
  I don’t know lol. I have mixed feelings but I’m glad I read it, I think 😉

  New York Times Best Selling Author, Tamara Ireland Stone is back with another empowering coming-of-age novel, the second in her Click’d series, Swap’d (Disney Hyperion).
  
  
  Middle school coder Allie Navarro has faced challenges before. She has learned from the mistakes she made in Click’d, and is back to prove to herself, her family and friends and Naomi Ryan, the CEO of Spyglass Game, that she deserves a spot at the Spyglass Summer Teen Hackathon, a summer program for talented teen coders.
  
  Allie is excited for the opportunity to attend the elite summer camp, but also feels conflicted because the camp would interfere with her availability to spend time with her best friend Courtney (also a coder).
  
  Seeking a solution, Allie finds the Game On Con, a highly-coveted conference for tech-savvy individuals. Allie and one guest are invited to this conference featuring an exclusive meet and greet with CEO Naomi herself. Allie hopes to have Courtney accompany her to the Game On Con, but must find a way to cover the staggering cost of her plane ticket to San Francisco, over 400 dollars.
  
  This task seems almost impossible until Allie is assigned a new project in Advanced Computer Science with the theme of reusing and repurposing old code. While brainstorming ideas on the bus with her good friend Zoe, Allie has an idea that may be the answer her all her problems.

  "If you think coding is a boring and difficult subject, you’ll be surprised, so grab this book now!" ~ Chen Pink, reviewer of ‘Swap'd’
  
  I applauded the author, Tamara, based on four points:
  • She made coding easy to understand for middle schoolers and an adult like me.
  • The three main characters, Allie, Courtney, and Nathan, were good role models to readers around their age. They are young, bold, and determined to build their dreams regardless of failure.
  • The adventures in the story kept us wanting to know the characters’ journey towards building the apps and learning the value of friendship and their responsibility as children and students for their actions.
  • The illustrations provided help young readers understand how an auction works.
  
  Suggestion for improvement (based on the 2020 paperback edition):
  The page dividers in the book indicate which days are not deemed fit. Instead, the days can be indicated on the chapter page as a heading before the start of each sentence.

  I really really liked BOTH of these books, and I read this book just at a time of life where it was a wonderful, happy escape for me, so I just thank the author again for writing it. It was funny and sweet, full of friendship and yet some pretty hard woes for a kiddo to go through too. These students learn and build character, and they were pretty great to begin with, says me. She wrote this so you do NOT have to be a gamer or a techie or a coder to understand it or to enjoy it, so don't let the dissuade you. Read this book. It's really nice! I liked it! It was fun and energetic with sprinkles of mystery and just enough parent interaction, but not too much, as the kids did their stuff and told the story. Oh, and there's a little tiny bit of romance in here too, junior high kind, so it's new and fresh and light and sweet. Read Click'd and then read Swap'd for best enjoyment, says me.

  I jumped right into this immediately after finishing Click'd and I think I may have enjoyed this even more.
  
  The basic plot structure was very similar to Click'd but somehow even better in this one. I really liked that the friendships from book one were built on and strengthened in this book. There were hints of a romance in this but it remained a minor part and didn't completely take over the story (which I've discovered is a major pet peeve of mine, and my main problem with YA in general these days).
  
  There was a satisfying ending and while I wasn't left feeling like I wanted more, I'd definitely read future books that the author chose to write in this series.

  My almost twelve year old was a HUGE fan of Click'd and jumped up and down when I showed her what I was reading on my kindle. We both read it and loved it. As a mom of a tween and hs teacher I felt like Tamara Ireland Stone wrote yet another great middle grade book. It is relevant and appropriate for the age group. My daughter said it was a good book (and she devoured it). She is hoping for more from this lovely author. Thank you so much netgalley for this arc in exchange for my honest opinion!

  I loved this book, even though I haven’t read Click’d. We went to our library, I noticed this on a shelf. I couldn’t put it down, even though I had 2 other books to get through. Since I love coding and agree that there aren’t enough female programmers, I thought it was a wonderful way to gently encourage coding in girls. I hope there’s a third book, and now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go write an illegal auction app.

  Sooo I finished this book in just a few hours and I loved every second of it. It was super fastpaced and all the characters are so lovable. I think the Click’d series is my most favorite middle grade series of all time and I need a third book asap!

  This book is pretty good and has a lot of plot twists.It opens a new window for Allie, because she finds out that she would be jealous of something... or someone. Pick up this book to find out her successes, failures, friendships and frenemies!

  I loved this book! Its a great story, well-written, and I think would appeal to any young reader but especially girls. I loved the first CodeGirls book just as much as this, and I really hope there will be more to come.

  J’ai bien aimé ce livre, où on retrouve les personnages du premier livre « Click’ed ». Cette fois-ci, Allie doit inventer un app en réutilisant du code déjà inventé.

  I liked the team work demonstrated in this book. Also the girl power haha. It was really enjoyable to read and I think it was equally as good as the first book.
