Girl Code
Overview & Summary
This nonfiction account follows two ordinary teenage girls, Andy Gonzales and Sophie Houser, who taught themselves to code and built a video game called Tampon Run to fight the stigma around menstruation -- and unexpectedly went viral, winning a national competition and international attention. Written in alternating first-person chapters, the book doubles as both a memoir of their unlikely friendship and an accessible argument for getting more girls into STEM fields.
