Which kid never felt the need to have some money of their own? Well, if you’ve got a budding business owner, these best middle grade books about entrepreneurship may just be the inspiration they need.

These stories are inspiring — although some occasionally border on unrealistic — and will help kids who either want to start a small business or support their family-owned businesses with more vim.
Review | Made in Korea (+ Giveaway)
Made in Korea is Sarah Suk’s debut YA novel. Valerie Kwon is a business-savvy Korean-American teen who runs V&C K-Beauty with her cousin, Charlie, out of her high school locker. She’s saving up so that she can take her halmeoni to Paris on a memorable vacation. Valerie is also misunderstood by her mother because she’s not as dutiful, math/science smart or organized as her older sister. Valerie’s dreams face a huge obstacle when a new, good looking Korean-American student Wes Jung unwittingly starts his own competing K-beauty business in their school.
