The book guides young readers through essential concepts relating to money which will help them become more financially astute and confident about money matters as they enter their teens.


From the Introduction:


Some people seem to have the magic touch when it comes to money—they just seem to have loads of it. How do they have so much? Were they lucky? Or do they know something others don’t? Then there are people who just can’t seem to keep hold of money. It runs through their fingers like water. You’ve probably heard of people who have made a fortune buying and selling Bitcoins or making viral videos. And you also probably know people
who spend their entire lives paying off credit card bills. You might be wondering which
one you are. Are you money smart? Or money clueless?
