Overview
Overview
Sofia can't stand another scorching summer in Phoenix with nothing to do. But when she whips up a batch of fruity popsicles that make her friends go wild, she realizes she might be onto something bigger than just cooling off. With a dash of creativity, a lot of taste-testing, and the help of her best friend Diego, Sofia launches Desert Pops, her very own popsicle business.
Soon, she's learning what every young entrepreneur discovers: running a business means more than making a great product. It takes planning, teamwork, customer service, and the guts to keep going when the ice melts and the pressure rises. From experimenting with new flavors to facing down copycat competitors, Sofia's hustle teaches her what it really means to start something of her own.
Packed with humor, friendship, and plenty of popsicle magic, Phoenix Hustle is more than just a fun story-it's a hands-on guide to entrepreneurship for kids ages 9-12.
