“Eni seemed so calm, so focused on the code. ‘Let’s think about this, Coders. This program is supposed to draw a bunch of polygons.’ I wondered how he was able to be like that.”

Synopsis

Hopper, Eni, and Josh have opened the portal into Flatland. Now all they need to do is go through it, rescue the second Turtle of Light, bring it back with them, and defeat Dr. One-Zero before he can enslave the world – and before their parents break up the group. This book wraps up the series in a satisfying way.

Fourth grade through middle school.
