I've read a handful of kid's Python books since my own introduction to the coding language. Of them all, this is probably my favorite. Each concept is explained in a straight-forward but not overly simplified way and then reinforced with exercises. And not only are there step by step projects, there are also challenges. These are ideas that you could solve using the introduced concepts, but the method is left up to the reader. Kids are encouraged to experiment, to make mistakes, and try again. It's easy to take these introduced ideas and imagine how one might build upon them to create more complex projects. A great choice for your middle grader who is showing and interest in programming.
