By the publishers who brought us,
I Can Do It Myself, Hillary's Big Business Adventure is the story of a 5th-grader from Baltimore, Maryland who lives with her
mother, father and younger brother Chef. Her best friend Zoe, along
with Chef's best friend, Tek make up this lively foursome.
While each
of the children have something special that they bring to the group;
Chef's interest in the culinary arts, Zoe's love for theater and dance,
and Tek's need for high tech gadgets; it is Hillary's talent for all
things entrepreneurial that steals the show in this first book.
The
first of this series highlights a young girl's ability to create a
business opportunity that enables her to earn the funds she needs to
purchase a new bicycle. Her spunky attitude and great determination
leaves the young reader excited to see what Hillary and her crew come
up with next, and if they achieve their goal. At the end of the story,
there is a lessons learned section, which features new vocabulary terms
and a fun team project for children to work on with their parents, or
at school with their teachers.
