EAT BUGS: PROJECT STARTUP

Eat Bugs Project Startup by author Heather Alexander

When Hallie and Jaye are paired up as partners for a pitch competition held by their Business Education and Entrepreneurship class, it’s far from a perfect match. Jaye dreads working with Hallie, who everyone at school calls “Bug Girl” after she ate a fried cricket during a class trip to the zoo. Then she hears Hallie’s zany startup idea: finding creative ways to sell bugs as food. Eat bugs? No way! thinks Jaye.

But maybe Hallie’s idea isn’t so wacky after all. It’s a great solution to food sustainability. And really healthy, too. In fact, eating bugs just may be their best shot at winning the school competition. If they win, they’ll compete in the county competition, potentially followed by states and nationals. And, more than anything, Jaye wants to win.

Enough to eat a bug. Or two.

EAT BUGS #2: PITCH PARTNERS

Eat Bugs Pitch Partners by author Heather Alexander

Hallie and Jaye are confident that their edible bug business is the food of the future. Their ultimate goal is to get Chirps chips–tortilla chips made with crickets–on every grocery store shelf, and the first step is competing in the county pitch competition. If they win, they’ll go onto New York City for the chance to win BIG money. Bug-tastic! But trouble’s brewing . . . . Their cricket is supply shrinking, they have no kitchen to cook in, and oh, yeah, Hallie might have built a cricket farm in her attic. Her mom’s sure to bug out when she discovers thousands of chirping insects living upstairs!

Luckily, her best friend, Eden, has a plan: Molly is going to rule her new school by becoming friends with Roseann Bleeker, the most superpopular girl in class!

Soon Molly sees that impressing Roseann is tougher than she’d expected. Just about the only person in the Garden State who seems to “get” Molly is her neighbor Shrimp.
