Gr 4-7–Many children and teens are interested in making money outside of the traditional job market, since most businesses and organizations will not hire before a certain age. This book offers ideas and strategies to young entrepreneurs everywhere. It is a new addition to the “Startup Squad” series dedicated to helping educate children about money and entrepreneurship. Readers are given prompts and exercises to discover the product or service that best suits their interest, learn to set up a successful business, manage competition, explore their market, and calculate expenses and profit. The chaptered, text-heavy layout is attractively formatted with infographics and inset boxes featuring themes such as “Startup Stars” and “Startup Secrets.” This book is a one-stop shop for all future entrepreneurs.
VERDICT Recommended for general purchase for all nonfiction collections; there are impossibly few resources available to this readership that take on this topic and cover it in such depth.
