5 Stars: An excellent project-based book for young readers who want to move beyond Scratch
Code This Game is an excellent book that teaches Python programming by guiding the reader through making a tower-defense game from scratch.

If you have a student or child who wants to move beyond MIT's Scratch programming tool and do "real" programming, this is a great book.
