A Job for Christina Julie Navarrette

Mr. and Mrs. Redstone are worried about their daughter's indecisiveness. If sixteen-year-old Christina can't make up her mind about a cup of coffee, how will she ever decide on a major in college? When Christina's aunt needs an assistant at her coffee shop, Mrs. Redstone thinks it's the perfect opportunity for Christina to start her journey towards finding a future career. Christina agrees to take the job because she really wants to buy an expensive purse she saw at the mall. Her best friend, Jenae, and the stray dog outside of the coffee shop help brighten her days as she learns how to handle the challenges of her first job and frustratingly watches her know-it-all brother progress quickly in his own career ambitions. When Christina discovers the coffee shop is in need of financial help, she begins to understand about the things that truly matter in life. In this series, the coffee shop is only Christina's first adventure. Where will she find herself next?
