The Startup Squad

What would you risk for a crazy idea?Maya Chen never planned to start a company in high school. She had enough on her plate with AP classes, college prep, and trying to survive junior year. But when her best friend Jordan pitches an idea for an app that could actually change students' lives, she can't say no.
One idea becomes four founders. Four founders become a real company. And suddenly, Maya and her team-coding genius Priya, business mastermind Marcus, and dreamer Jordan-aren't just building an app. They're building something that could actually succeed.
But success has a price. Between late-night coding sessions, investor pitches, and trying to keep their grades from tanking, something has to give. And when the time comes to choose between the startup they've poured everything into and the futures they'd always planned, Maya realizes the hardest part of entrepreneurship isn't building a company. It's knowing when to hold on-and when to let go. THE STARTUP SQUAD is a story about friendship, ambition, and discovering that sometimes the biggest risk isn't failure. It's never trying at all. For fans of realistic contemporary fiction and anyone who's ever dreamed of building something impossible.
