Thanks to NetGalley and its author for providing me with an advanced copy.

In this second title in the early chapter book series about everyone's favorite young entrepreneur, Wednesday Wilson is only trying to help her brother when her latest business idea strikes! Sometimes the best business ideas pop up when you least expect them. Or that's what happens to Wednesday Wilson, anyway, the morning her brother, Mister, locks himself in the bathroom because he's nervous about a school presentation.

That was what the story says to us, right? Well, it's quite similar, when Wednesday had to help his brother's project, she was thinking about how can they do it. She also thought they were in troubles after it happens something with the kid at school. However, it was the contrary, their idea was amazing and they didn't have to give back the money what they'd sold, Marbles.

This second book in the Wednesday Wilson series is just as good as the first! It’s a fun and quick read with a great lesson!

Wednesday Wilson knows a lot about businesses, and is always trying out new business ideas. Some are better than others, but none of them have lasted (so far). When her little brother is worried about giving a presentation during an assembly, Wednesday has an idea that will help people and make money! But when you're still a kid, nothing is as simple as it seems.

Wednesday and her little brother Mister are unusual kids. Both of their moms work (that's not it), and one owns a pizza truck Teresaria, so they get a fried egg on a slice of pizza for breakfast every morning. That's what she hates! It's too bad she can help other people, but can't solve her terrible breakfast food problem! (Why the egg isn't served on the side--instead of on top of the pizza--is unknown to me, but an obvious solution!)

Readers of all ages will enjoy the adventures of Wednesday and her friends, and what they learn because this girl is an entrepreneur who cares about people.

4/5 Stars (Lacks common sense and adult supervision, but fun fiction!)

A huge thanks to Kids can Press for my complimentary copy and all opinions expressed are entirely my own.

Wednesday Wilson is back and I love it! This book follows entrepreneur and girl boss Wednesday Wilson who is looking for her next business idea. I love Wednesday because her ideas spark from her good heart. The author did a wonderful job of bringing tis delightful young woman who also had to deal with mean kids, breakfast she didn't like and class assignments. Enjoyed this book and I absolutely love Wednesday.

Bree Galbraith and Morgan Goble did it again! This is the second book in the Wednesday Wilson early chapter book series and it was … awesome! The series follows a young entrepreneur named Wednesday Wilson. Along with her brother and friends, they come up with business ideas. Sprinkled throughout are business terms that are explained in an easy to understand manner. In addition, the series captures so much within its pages:
-Diversity
-Family structure
-Worry
-Friendship
-Business and entrepreneurship
-Teamwork
-Problem solving

Loved everything about it! Highly recommend.

This early elementary chapter book was so cute! Wednesday's little brother, Mister, has a lot of anxiety about a school presentation he has to do. Wednesday thinks of a solution that will help that will help him feel better, and, being business-minded, might also get her and her friends a little extra money!

I loved Wednesday. She's spunky and full of entrepreneurial ideas. I also loved how concerned she was about her little brother.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC.

The second installment of the Wednesday Wilson series was just as delightful as the first! The theme of giving back and being kind is a much-needed lesson for both children and adults alike. I'm excited to read about Wednesday's next endeavor!

Thank you NetGalley for an advanced copy of Wednesday Wilson in exchange of my honest opinion.

I chose this book because of the cover, I am not going to lie. It caught my eye straight away and I wanted to know more about Wednesday and how she is trying to create a business.

What I found in this book, though, was an amazing story that I will recommend a lot!

The book is fun, quick to read, entertaining and perfect for 5+ children.

It's also inclusive and diverse. I saw black people representation, LGBTQ representation and people with physical disability representation.

Lastly, hats off to the illustrator! I loved the pictures so much!

A second easy read in this series concerning a young, big-hearted entrepreneur and her friends. Here, one of the kind-of-enemy gang seems too friendly to be true, our title character's younger brother declares he will not leave the school lavatory due to worry over a public performance, and she manages to find a way to dispose of an heirloom collection of marbles while making money. For people concerned about such things, Wednesday and brother Mister are in a two-mother household, and are mixed race, and no end of ethnicities and right-on-ness is featured. So it's a bit awkward when the story of the business adventure (for want of a better word) turns in peculiar ways and really muddles the message. You're left with a pudding of thoughts as to what was right and what was wrong, and it's almost as if the author doesn't know her core lesson, any more than Wednesday herself. Still, this is never going to be an Apprentice episode for the very young, and the drive to a warming kind of success is generally a nice one. Three and a half stars.

Wednesday Wilson is a rising entrepreneur! She makes plans, looks for opportunities, and involves others in her ventures. This volume is especially appropriate for readers moving into chapter books. The chapters are short, appealing, well illustrated, and well-written. In this book readers will learn new vocabulary related to starting a business--words such as customer acquisition cost, trademark, and R & D. The story, how Wednesday tries to start a business selling worry marbles that take away the stress of whatever ails you, is interesting and moves ahead at a good pace. Chapters are narrated by Wednesday, and she has the features of a true-to-life motivated girl. She is appealing and a bit quirky.

Thank you Kids Can Press and NetGalley for the eARC to read and review!

Another delightful business adventure with Wednesday Wilson, future entrepreneur!

Wednesday Wilson usually has a lot of big business ideas to try. But lately she’s been in a funk. As she tries to help her little brother, Mister, overcome his nerves about giving a presentation in front of the whole school, Wednesday is suddenly struck with a new business idea: the Worry Marble, guaranteed to fix all your problems..or get Wednesday into trouble once again.

I love Wednesday’s perseverance to see an idea through. She’s earnest, organized, and very persuasive. She has a vibrant personality that draws others in.

Kids can learn important skills from these books, such as basic business terminology, problem-solving, creativity, and teamwork. I like how Wednesday, her friends, and brother work together to make a genuine product that will help others.

The illustrations are expressive and bring the story to life in all the best ways. The cast of characters is wonderfully diverse. And I like how the story talks about and celebrates different types of families.

I hope there will be more books forthcoming because this is a really enjoyable series. I love that it’s equal parts entertaining and educational with great lessons to learn. Wednesday Wilson is such a fun character with a lot to offer the world.

Wednesday Wilson has spunk! A mixed race character from a non-traditional family, Wednesday is a budding entrepreneur. She and her friends come up with a plan to help people and make money at the same time. It's a win-win? Or is it?

I really liked this book. Always on the look-out for an early chapter book that is fun, engaging, and well written, I'll be purchasing this for the library.

I loved Junie B. Jones growing up so I figured I’d give Wednesday Wilson a try and she is such a strong character and I will read every book about her! The illustrations add so much to the story, too, which is a plus! This was so entertaining and engaging for young readers!

Wednesday Wilson is an enthusiastic little entrepreneur who also just tries to get through school life with her friends and enemies (the Emmas). When her little brother worries about a project related to a family tree, she gets some inspiration for a new business.

I love that this book features a strong, non-white, female character who is interested in business. I think Wednesday will be a fantastic role model for young girls everywhere. The story includes some footnotes throughout with definitions of more challenging or unfamiliar words, usually business terms such as “trademark” but also words like “funk” or “acknowledgements”. I also love that Wednesday’s family is non-traditional and includes both her Nonna and Nonno and I think, two mothers. I think there are many young children who would enjoy this story and see something of themselves in the characters. I would definitely recommend this novel to early elementary teachers or parents of children ages approx 5-9.

I really appreciate the opportunity from Netgalley and the publisher to read and review an advance copy of this book! I am looking forward to purchasing a copy for my students in the future.

Wednesday has a real go getter attitude!

This is a fun book on being an entrepreneur and developing a simple business. Kids can come up with great ideas! Wednesday used her business of "worry marbles" to help others.

My 3rd grader really liked this book and wants to read more in the series! A great book for strong young girls!

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for providing a copy of this ARC for an honest review, the opinions are all my own.

Thank you, Kids Can Press, for the advance reading copy.

I love Wednesday Wilson so much! She doesn't mean anyone harm and all she thinks about making things better.

But things do not go as they're planned and she does frequently goes in trouble. I love this kid so much! Can I just adopt her already?

But her mom and mum would not allow it I know! Such a lovely family I would say. I can understand the parents and the other adult characters. I love the representation. I like the school environment. It's such an engaging and heartwarming read.

The illustrations add charm to the story.

An adorable young readers' book which is engaging, entertaining and fun to read.

Try not loving this book! I am looking for the first book. I didn't know there was one!
