Launching a kid-powered help club from their backyard treehouse sounded simple-until the Troop's first big job, a welcome-back picnic for Ms. Alvarez, bumps into the River Street Rockets' skate demo...and a surprise hamster escape.With rotating roles (Captain, Planner/Tech, Builder, Artist, Outreach, Animal Care), Maya, Riley, Noor, Jules, Zara, and Emi juggle mixed-up signs, wobbly tables, weather sprinkles, and honest apologies. The plan changes. The day doesn't-because the Troop shows up for their neighbors and for each other.Warm, funny, and a little mischievous, The Treetop Troop: Switchboard Start-Up kicks off a contemporary series about teamwork, tiny disasters, and doing good on your own street. Includes spot illustrations and bonus extras: a Patch Guide, a map of River Street, and a sneak peek of Book 2.
