Review:

The girls of the Startup Squad are back with a second big idea. This time the stakes are greater, and they need to do something more than a lemonade stand. Harriet accidentally stepped on and broke the guitar of her brother Larry who plays in the Skinks band. As a result, the band could no longer practice or even play a gig. The big idea was to sell Skinks merchandise to earn enough money to buy a new guitar for Larry. 

The Squad agreed to sell t-shirts. But once again individual ideas and personalities put the group on edge and the brothers in the band couldn’t decide on a logo. Their team did stay busy planning the bands gig but had forgotten about Larry not having a guitar to play. With some luck and charm Harriett gets a guitar from Mo the owner of Music Mania. Now, the t-shirts were ready but printed with the wrong slogan. Is there anything else that could possibly go wrong with the Squads big idea? How will they pull this fundraiser off? 

Readers will love this second book in the series. Fun characters with everyday issues and plenty of problem solving will keep readers engaged. This fast-paced read is perfect for a class read-a-loud. The back pages offer tips for starting a business and an interview with a real-life entrepreneur.
