Summary

Girls mean business in the third novel of this series about friendship and entrepreneurship that Katherine Applegate, Newbery Medal-winning author of The One and Only Ivan, calls "A great read!"



All four friends in the Startup Squad want to raise money--but when they can't agree on what business to start next, they strike off on their own。 Didi's idea seems perfect: making place cards for a wedding。

But after the wedding planner gets sick, Didi finds herself in charge of everything--and then the caterer cancels and the band goes missing! Didi's business is turning from a dream to a disaster。 Will the Startup Squad come together in time to save the wedding?

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。

I felt stressed out reading about how Didi was stressed out。

This review and many more can be found on my blog: Feed Your Fiction AddictionThis installment of the series puts the girls in their most extreme circumstances yet。 Didi gets a side job designing wedding place cards and somehow ends up in charge of the whole wedding! Okay, so adults will need to really suspend a little disbelief here (why on earth would someone put a 12-year-old in charge of their wedding planning?), but I have a feeling kids won't care about the believability aspect。 Just like This review and many more can be found on my blog: Feed Your Fiction AddictionThis installment of the series puts the girls in their most extreme circumstances yet。 Didi gets a side job designing wedding place cards and somehow ends up in charge of the whole wedding! Okay, so adults will need to really suspend a little disbelief here (why on earth would someone put a 12-year-old in charge of their wedding planning?), but I have a feeling kids won't care about the believability aspect。 Just like in the previous books, the girls find themselves having a myriad of problems with their business venture, but in this case the problems aren't of their own making---they're dealing with the leftover issues from someone else who didn't do their job properly。 Let's face it, this can be a realistic circumstance。 Sometimes we have to clean up other people's messes。 And I loved that the girls banded together to help Didi when she was feeling overwhelmed。 As always, teamwork is a big part of the story。 I also loved how Didi discovered where her true passions do (and do not) lie, and she saw value in the fact that she had tried something new, even if it was only to discover that it wasn't really for her。 Another fun read! And, as always, I love the business tips at the back of the book。***Disclosure: I received these books from the publisher via Media Masters Publicity for review purposes。 No other compensation was given and all opinions are my own。*** 。。。more

I received this book free through Goodreads First Read。This book is a good addition to the series。 I like how each look kind of focus on a different kid and their interests in family。 This book focused on Didi and we got to see more of her interest and family。 It was also nice to see some growth with some of the background characters from the previous books。

Also, the book gives excellent tips on starting a business plan and setting up any project professionally so that it is easy to monitor。 Also, Didi is adorable in the lead。 As an Indian, I loved the Indian references the author made and her relationship with her family。 I also chuckled at the Sheila Orbacher references。However, again, my criticism is on not giving all the characters a chance in the spotlight。 This time, there is hardly any mention of Harriet, and I wished the author had made her prominent。 She is the funny, quirky one in the group, and I felt that was present in the previous novel but missing in this one。Overall, “Party Problems” is another excellent addition to “The Startup Squad” series, and I hope they continue to release many more books。 。。。more

I received an electronic ARC from Macmillan Children's Publishing Group through NetGalley。The latest in this series continues the character development。 Didi is the main focus as she wants to earn money to purchase some art software。 Her mom steps up to help and gets her several jobs that build until she becomes a wedding planner for a wedding taking place in a week。 Of course the rest of the squad steps up to help and the wedding makes it to number one on the video networks。 Plenty of humor as I received an electronic ARC from Macmillan Children's Publishing Group through NetGalley。The latest in this series continues the character development。 Didi is the main focus as she wants to earn money to purchase some art software。 Her mom steps up to help and gets her several jobs that build until she becomes a wedding planner for a wedding taking place in a week。 Of course the rest of the squad steps up to help and the wedding makes it to number one on the video networks。 Plenty of humor as the girls interact plus some typical drama expected at the middle school level。 They are relatable and feel like realistic characters。 Readers will identify with them and see themselves in similar situations。 Love the encouragement to explore entrepreneurship at this age。 The informative text at the end encourages further exploration of business options。 。。。more

E ARC provided by NetgalleyThese are just a bit young for my students。 I like the idea behind them and would definitely purchase for an elementary school。 I have the first one, but can't get my students to check it out。 Perhaps next year, when I see students more regularly。 E ARC provided by NetgalleyThese are just a bit young for my students。 I like the idea behind them and would definitely purchase for an elementary school。 I have the first one, but can't get my students to check it out。 Perhaps next year, when I see students more regularly。 。。。more
