Click'd
by Stone, Tamara Ireland
Allie Navarro is a coding whiz who thinks she has solved the middle school social puzzle by creating Clickd, an app designed to help classmates find new friends.

The story moves at a breakneck speed, mirroring the frantic energy of a tech startup run by twelve-year-olds. It feels like a high-stakes scavenger hunt where the real prize is learning how to balance ambition with empathy. If you enjoy stories about brilliant kids trying to navigate the messy, unpredictable social hierarchy of middle school, this one will hit home. It is perfect for readers who appreciate a protagonist who is unapologetically smart and the inevitable growing pains that come with realizing you cannot program your way out of a social disaster.
