Pearl and her robot is ready for a day at the amusement park.  Pearl only has ten tokens, so she needs to put her coding skills to make the most of her day.  Using variables, values, loops, even If-Then-Else, she is able to enjoy rides and ice cream all day.

Funk repeats the pattern used in the first How To Code a … book in #2. While the steps are repetitious, I liked seeing how the same instructions work in a completely different situation.
