ONE FOR THE DOGS

When summer plans with her friends and Abuela go awry, it’s time for Resa to brainstorm a new plan–but will it be enough?

Resa and her friends are heading to Brooklyn to spend a couple of weeks with her grandmother! They’re so excited to hang out, explore the big city, and have all sorts of adventures. But when Abuela sprains her ankle and can’t make it to the shop she runs, Resa knows she can help out–and put her business skills to use along the way!

So when two other girls come in to the store looking for doggy bandanas, an item Abuela doesn’t have in stock, Resa sees an opportunity to fill a hole in the market. She starts to brainstorm a business plan–only to find out that her new friends don’t seem all that interested in putting Resa’s good advice to use. And meanwhile, Resa’s original Startup Squad crew seem to be having a blast with her abuela–and without Resa. Will the summer of Resa’s dreams turn out to be a complete disappointment?
