Computer code just got dangerous in this action-packed spy adventure series

Asha Joshi has the perfect excuse not to finish her homework. She's just been recruited to join the top-secret Children's Spy Agency. Her first mission: SAVE THE WORLD. Can she do it? Asha's a coder so she should be able to hack into the biggest tech company in the world, fight deadly sharks and figure out why the Internet has stopped working.

All before bedtime. Easy, right? The story is a great way to engage young readers in coding, critical-thinking and STEM. It is mapped onto key National Curriculum Computing KS1 and KS2 concepts including algorithms, conditionals and debugging.

• Agent Asha will be on TV! Turner International, owner of Cartoon Network, has strategically invested in Bright Little Labs to help it develop its digital offering. It's the global media company's first investment in the "edutainment" space. 
• Asha, a coding genius from a British Indian family, is a positive role model: fewer girls study computer science now than 10 years ago and only 14% of the STEM workforce are BAME. 
• The brand began life as a Kickstarter campaign, and since then the start-up has featured in the Telegraph, Guardian, HuffPost and on TEDX. Named as an Independent Best Buy.
