| Publisher Description: Girls mean business in a brand-new series about friendship and entrepreneurship that Katherine Applegate, Newbery Medal-winning author of The One and Only Ivan, calls "A great read " 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... The back of each book in this middle-grade series features tips from the Startup Squad and an inspirational profile of a girl entrepreneurAn Imprint Book 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 "The Startup Squad encourages girls to dream big, work hard, and rely on each other to make good things happen. It teaches them how to succeed--and reminds all of us that girls mean business "--Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook and founder of LeanIn.Org and OptionB.Org "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 This title has common core connections. |
Contributor Bio(s): Weisfeld, Brian: - Brian Weisfeld has been building businesses his entire life. In elementary school, he bought 100 pounds of gummy bears and hired his friends to sell them. As a teen, he made and sold mix tapes (ask your parents what that is), sorted baseball cards (he got paid in cards), babysat four-days-a-week after school, and sold nuts and dried fruit (and more gummy bears) in a neighborhood store. As an adult, Brian helped build a number of well-known billion-dollar companies including IMAX and Coupons.com. Brian is the Founder and Chief Squad Officer of The Startup Squad, a multi-platform brand dedicated to helping girls reach their potential, no matter where their passions lie. Brian lives in Silicon Valley and can often be found eating gummy bears with his wife while watching his two daughters sell lemonade from the end of their driveway.Kear, Nicole C.: - Nicole C. Kear grew up in New York City, where she still lives, with her husband, three firecracker kids and a ridiculously fluffy hamster. She's written lots of essays; a memoir, Now I See You, for grownups; and The Fix-It Friends series for kids. She also co-wrote The Startup Squad series with Brian Weisfeld. She has a bunch of fancy, boring diplomas, and one red clown nose from circus school. Seriously. |
