After snagging second place at their school’s startup pitch competition, Hallie and Jaye are confident that their edible bug business is the food of the future. Now their ultimate goal is to get Chirps chips—tortilla chips made with cricket powder—on every grocery store shelf. First, they get to move on to the county pitch competition to try and win tickets to New York City to compete in the next round. But there are a few bumps along the way, with their cricket supply shrinking, no kitchen to cook in, and trouble brewing between the two teammates. Can they clinch first place, or will their business go bust before it really begins? Based on the true story of a sustainable protein start-up company, this illustrated novel is a reimagining for a middle-grade reader.
