Back in Business (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798855194470)

The Curlfriends are back and hitting the dance floor in Sharee Miller's NAACP image award-nominated graphic novel series.

Nola Washington has never met a problem she can't solve. She's a fashionista and an honor roll student, and she knows her way around a comb. When she's not helping her mom at their family's hair salon, Nola's hanging out with her besties, the Curlfriends! This time, Ella has signed them up for the school talent show, and who better to lead them in a dance routine than Nola, with her amazing moves? All she needs is a stylish new outfit to perform in, but when one of the salon's hair dryers breaks down, Nola finds out her mom is having money trouble. If they can't pay the bills, will the salon go out of business?

Not on Nola's watch! She'll do anything to help, but her mom keeps shutting her out. It's hard to focus on dance practice with her girls, let alone school, when life at home is nowhere near perfect anymore. This doesn't feel like something Nola can fix on her own, but with the Curlfriends by her side, there's no problem they can't solve together!

In the Curlfriends series, follow four inseparable Black girls who show what it means to lean on one another when times are tough:
