This was fun! I would highly recommend it, especially to anyone interested in programming, robots, and especially baking / bread / food in general. It will make you hungry. So many great quotes and engaging characters. “Here's a thing I believe about people my age: we are the children of Hogwarts, and more than anything, we just want to be sorted.” Ha!
One small thing that bugged me - there are a couple of points where they make fun of radiation - as in the location of their market is located in an old military facility that previously housed nuclear weapons, and at one point Lois is offered honey supposedly from “Chernobyl,” and eats it without batting an eye. The characters reactions to this are along the lines of “Eh, mutation is good for you...” Which was so weird, considering that unless this book was in a superhero universe, radiation would actually poison and kill you. Super minor, especially considering this book is basically about magical bacteria cultures.
