However, Annabelle's best friend, Rachel, has strong opinions that could jeopardize both their business and their friendship. As they navigate the complexities of middle school, Annabelle must balance big dreams with the realities of growing up. Will their friendship survive the pressure, or will their plans fall apart? Discover the ups and downs of friendship and ambition in this engaging tale.

From the publisher

A music festival is coming to town, and Annabelle and her friends can’t wait to rock out–that is if they can earn enough cash to buy the expensive tickets. In this day and age, a regular old lemonade stand isn’t going to cut it. They’ll need to get creative, but agreeing on a strategy is harder than Annabelle thought, especially when her best friend, Rachel, has strong opinions that threaten not just their business model, but their friendship as well. With big plans–and big changes–afoot, there’s no time for Annabelle and crew to monkey around! Capturing the ups and downs of friendship, family, and middle school in her pitch perfect storytelling, Leslie Margolis keeps readers coming back for more of life according to Annabelle Stevens.
