About the Author

Gene Luen Yang writes, and sometimes draws, comic books and graphic novels. As the Library of Congress's fifth National Ambassador for Young People's Literature, he advocates for the importance of reading, especially reading diversely. His graphic novel American Born Chinese, a National Book Award finalist and Printz Award winner, has been adapted into a streaming series on Disney+. His two-volume graphic novel Boxers & Saints won the LA Times Book Prize and was a National Book Award finalist. His nonfiction graphic novel Dragon Hoops received an Eisner Award and a Printz honor. His other comics works include Secret Coders (with Mike Holmes), The Shadow Hero (with Sonny Liew), as well as Superman Smashes the Klan and the Avatar: The Last Airbender series (both with Gurihiru). In 2016, he was named a MacArthur Foundation Fellow. Mike Holmes's comics can be seen in Bravest Warriors, Adventure Time, True Story, This American Drive, and Animal Crackers: Cricus Mayhem.

Reviews

"Gene Luen Yang's talent is prodigious, his enthusiasm contagious . . . Even this confirmed technophobe was ready to learn coding." --Katherine Applegate, author of Crenshaw and The One and Only Ivan

"Secret Coders not only uses Logo but also touches on computer fundamentals like binary code and the three major ways that code is organized . . . Readers will learn them all, right alongside Hopper and Eni, not as something dry or rote, but something transformative." --Wired
