Asher (11yo) did some (not all) of the projects in this book and is now interested in pursuing his own coding adventures with Scratch! FTW!

This introduces the basic concepts of programming, best for someone who has never done any of it before. It starts out with really easy projects, but gets more complex and harder as they go along, building upon earlier projects, so it's best to do them in order.

Not sure why I was expecting more Star Wars things/coding related things from this book but it gave clear view about Scratch and what you need to do in order to do the things inside the project. If you can follow directions well, you'll have no problem with the projects inside this book.
