“This illustrated early-chapter book takes on sibling rivalry and STEM themes in a way that will resonate with many readers and encourage them to try new things.”

—Booklist

“This title approaches a common sibling frustration, refreshingly from the less-represented viewpoint of the younger child. Spot art breaks up the text and expands the humor, and back matter provides resources to help those interested in coding find a place to start.”

—The Horn Book

“Chapter-book readers will enjoy watching Lucy navigate the exciting world of computer coding and the complexities of having an older sister.”

—Kirkus Reviews

Lucy López, una alumna de tercer grado, y su hermana mayor, Elena, tienen un Club Vamos a Divertirnos, donde diseñan sus propias insignias para ponerlas en una guía y hacen listas de las cosas que tienen que realizar para ganarlas.

Pero ahora Elena pasa casi todo el tiempo programando en la computadora y Lucy se siente excluida. Así que decide unirse al campamento extraescolar de programación con la esperanza de que Elena quiera agregar la programación a sus actividades del Club Vamos a Divertirnos y que pueda ser algo que hagan juntas. Pero cuando resulta que Lucy tiene un talento natural para programar, Elena no parece contenta. ¿Por qué Lucy siempre quiere hacer lo mismo que ella?
