Thank you NetGalley for an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I've loved The Startup Squad books from the start, and was glad to see another! This time Didi is the main focus as she wants to earn money to purchase some (pricy) art software for herself. Her mom is able to get her several jobs until she ends up becoming a wedding planner by accident for a wedding. Not to mention, the wedding is taking place in a week. As drama ensues like with all middle schoolers, the rest of the squad steps up to help and the wedding as it become viral. This was another quick, fun read! I cannot wait to add it next to our other Startup Squad books in our classroom library!

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.

I received an advance copy of, The Startup Squad: Party Problems, by Brian Weisfeld; Nicole C. Kear. This is a great book for kids. Didi is asked to be a wedding planner, and she is only 12. Will her and her friends pull it off?
