Hacking for Kids: The Secret Adventures of a Junior Hacker

A playful adventure story that teaches children how to think and act like a real hacker - the good kind. Join Robin and a glowing digital companion named Bit on a mission to save their town's computers, and learn genuine skills along the way: how computers think, secret codes, logic puzzles, your first lines of code, strong passwords, staying safe online, and the hacker's code of honor. Every chapter ends with a hands-on 'Mission' the reader can actually do. Target Audience: Curious kids aged 9 to 13 (and the grown-ups who read along with them). No computer experience needed - just a sense of adventure and a habit of asking 'how does this work?'
