Synopsis

“A great read that is fast-paced, fun, and empowering. The Startup Squad comes complete with a treasure trove of tips for starting a business.” ―Katherine Applegate, Newbery Medal-winning author of The One and Only Ivan

Girls mean business in this series about friendship and entrepreneurship that was recommended by the American Library Association (ALA) as a diverse and inclusive read to teach young people about money.

The back of each book includes business tips for kids starting or running their first businesses and an inspirational profile of a young entrepreneur!

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...

Updated and expanded edition of this middle-grade series includes an interview with co-author Brian Weisfeld and reader discussion questions! This title has common core connections.

"An inspiring story about entrepreneurial girls. I loved this story of girls finding their way in the world of entrepreneurship." ―Ann M. Martin, author of the Baby-Sitters Club series and Newbery Honor winner A Corner of the Universe
