Los Angeles Hustle: Lights, Camera, Hustle
Jordan has always loved making videos-funny skits, goofy edits, even lunchtime mini-movies with his friends. But when one of his clips unexpectedly goes viral, he realizes he might be onto something bigger than likes and shares: a business.
With his best friend Mateo by his side, Jordan begins turning his creativity into a real hustle. From filming in Olvera Street and Venice Beach to experimenting with editing tricks and storytelling, Jordan discovers what it really takes to be a kid entrepreneur in Los Angeles. But the path to success isn't just about views and subscribers. Negative comments sting, competitors pop up, and the pressure to constantly create can feel overwhelming.
Through it all, Jordan learns the lessons every young founder must face: how to build confidence, balance school and business, work with a team, manage setbacks, and find your voice in a noisy world.
Los Angeles Hustle is more than a story about chasing views-it's a fast, fun, and inspiring kids' chapter book about entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and creativity. Perfect for ages 9-12, it shows that starting a business isn't just about making money-it's about learning, growing, and turning ideas into action.
Why Kids (and Parents) Love Los Angeles Hustle:Relatable storylines: Jordan wrestles with real-world challenges like self-doubt, peer pressure, and balancing school with his hustle.
Entrepreneurship for kids: Shows step by step how a fun hobby like video creation can become a small business.
Confidence and resilience: Encourages readers to focus on storytelling, not just metrics, and to bounce back from setbacks.
Local pride: Brings Los Angeles to life, with nods to Venice Beach, Olvera Street, Union Station, and the city's creative energy.
Educational angle: Subtly teaches financial literacy for kids, teamwork, marketing, and problem-solving.
Los Angeles Hustle is one of the stand-alone novels in The Hustle Series, where kids across America launch businesses and discover the excitement of entrepreneurship. From sneakers in Brooklyn to popsicles in Phoenix, photography in San Diego, and car washes in Detroit, each Hustle book highlights a different way kids can start something of their own. Together, they're part of the larger Young Founder Series, designed to spark creativity, resilience, and confidence in kids everywhere.
