Trouble at the Hair Salon

by Tanya Wright, Ashley Evans (Illustrator)

Overview

Hip, hip, hooray! It's Fri-yay!

With her parents out of town, Hairiette gets to spend the whole weekend with Aunt Zelda and her cat Olive! They have their Fish Fry Friday, watch movies, and dance around the house. But this Friday is even more special: Hairiette learns how to use her Magic Nation to be an entrepreneur and help her family's hair salon business.

Step one: attempt to make Nana Grace's famous hair potion.

Step two: When Aunt Zelda says she can't use the potion, go to Magic Nation!

Charlie the Comb and Barbara the Barrett help Hairiette to understand that going slow and asking for help can make things work best. Being an entrepreneur is more fun with friends, anyway!
