| Publisher Description: 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.

Martin, author of the Baby-Sitters Club series and Newbery Honor winner A Corner of the Universe This title has common core connections. |
Contributor Bio(s): 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.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. |
