Hailey and her friends have a problem: they have to get to
Comicpalooza in June in order to see Collin Prince in person, but their parents
can’t afford to pay for them to go. Together, the four girls start a new
babysitting company, “Princesses and Pirates, Inc,” to earn the money to go
themselves. Between homework, extracurricular activities, and more customers
than they can handle, the girls are stretched thin and overwhelmed, but how can
they say no and lose business when they are so close to their goal?
Hailey and her friends are very creative, and I enjoyed
reading the business planning side of things as well as the rest of the story.
My favorite part of Hailey’s story, though, is that she and her friends made a
goal and worked hard to achieve it. While we do not always get what we want in
the way that we want, there is something to be said for making a goal. Hailey
and her friends have inspired me to look at what I want in life and what I can
do to make it happen instead of waiting for it to fall in my lap—this princess
can save herself!
