She's desperate to be accepted into a prestigious study abroad program in Spain so that she can see what life is like beyond the streets of Brooklyn.

But when the captain of the basketball team starts to pay attention to her after she's pined away for him for months and Cherise, her best friend, meets a guy online, Teenie's mind is on anything but her schoolwork. Teenie's longtime crush isn't what he seemed to be, nor is her best friend's online love. Can Teenie get her act together in time to save her friendship with Cherise, save her grade point average so that she can study in Spain, and save herself from a potentially dangerous relationship?Christopher Grant makes a stunning literary debut with this warmly told story about friends, family, and finding oneself.

Every business book written by a famous, high-profile entrepreneur inevitably maps out their tips and tricks about how they became famous millionaires. That’s all well and good, but you’ll never be able to use any of their examples until you start your own business. Wantrepreneurs are people who want to start a business, but for one reason or another, never seem to get started. Wantrepreneurs fear finances, inadequacy, the thoughts and judgments of others, change, risk, making the wrong choice, and the ultimate killer of any entrepreneurial endeavor: failure. This is the unconventional story of a teenaged entrepreneur who grew a successful business against all odds. It offers a unique perspective, detailing how a kid can start a business, make every mistake in the book (literally), and keep going. After reading this book, will you learn how to be the next Steve Jobs, Richard Branson, or Mark Zuckerberg? No, because that has already been done. If you are on the edge, dreaming about owning a business, the only way to know if you can do it is to conquer every imaginable fear and simply get it done. This is not a steps-to-success book or a sappy “it’s so easy everyone can do it” book. In reality, being an entrepreneur is so rewarding that I wish everyone could experience what it’s like to own their own business, but more importantly find a job they love.
