The Startup Squad: Face the Music

By Brian Weisfeld and Nicole C. Kear

Book Overview

Girls mean business in The Startup Squad: Face the Music, the second novel in the series, which Kirkus Reviews calls "an enjoyable and diverse story highlighting friendship, entrepreneurship, and perseverance."

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

Each book in this middle-grade series by Brian Weisfeld and Nicole C. Kear also features tips for kids starting or running their first businesses, plus a profile of a real-life tween girl CEO.
