Description
Book 1:
All the great leaders had to start somewhere. And Teresa (“Resa” for short) is starting with the lemonade stand competition her teacher assigned to the class―but making it a success is going to be a lot harder than Resa thinks.
The prize: line-skipping tickets to Adventure Central. The competition: Val, Resa’s middle school nemesis. And the biggest obstacle to success: Resa’s own teammates. Harriet is the class clown, Amelia is the new girl who thinks she knows best, and Didi is Resa’s steadfast friend―who doesn’t know the first thing about making or selling lemonade. The four of them quickly realize that the recipe for success is tough to perfect―but listening to each other is the first step. And making new friends might be the most important one…
Book 2:
Harriet’s brothers are hoping to enter a local battle of the bands. Winning could get them on a reality TV show! But low funds have left them without even a working guitar. The Startup Squad jumps into action―and quickly pulls together a plan to sell T-shirts to raise money.
The girls have a lot of great ideas―until everything starts to go wrong. When all the problems start turning disappointed fans into an angry mob, the girls realize they have to get back into the groove before the band members―and the Startup Squad―break up for good!
Jonathan Taylor’s Review from Amazon:
Just like the original The Start Up Squad, Face the Music provides an extremely valuable and entertaining introduction to entrepreneurship for girls. After reading these books, my daughter and nieces could not wait to get together to discuss ideas for starting a business. Besides that, they really enjoyed the story line and characters. To see what they were so excited about, I read the books as well and I can’t think of a better way to empower and inspire girls to become entrepreneurs. They can’t wait until the next addition comes out, and they are hard at work at their business ideas. Five stars for sure!!
Book 3:
Tips for kids starting or running their first businesses and a profile of a real-life tween CEO are included in the back of the book. Updated and expanded edition includes business plan template to help create your own business!
All four friends in the Startup Squad want to raise money―but when they can’t agree on what business to start next, they strike off on their own. Didi’s idea seems perfect: making place cards for a wedding.
But after the wedding planner gets sick, Didi finds herself in charge of everything―and then the caterer cancels and the band goes missing! Didi’s business is turning from a dream to a disaster. Will the Startup Squad come together in time to save the wedding?
