The Young Investor

From School Library Journal:
Grades 6-9–Starting with homey stories and personal examples, Bateman demonstrates how to learn about investments from everyday experiences.
Using current examples such as CD boom boxes but without fancy graphics, she explains the “money circle,” an excellent way to characterize the
circulation of wealth; mentions bank accounts; and then provides a concise summary of savings vehicles, including an account of the “magic” of
compound interest, illustrated by a table and a story of a successful young investor. As Bateman covers broader and deeper topics such as risk-tolerance,
stock reports, and macroeconomics, she follows the same pattern in each chapter. Constantly referring to points made earlier, the author provides plenty
of opportunity for review and concludes each chapter with another account of the young investor’s story-he ends up with his own land and hopes for a house on it.

Rich Dad, Poor Dad for Teens

From School Library Journal: Grade 6 Up. Kiyosaki, a bestselling author for adults, has specifically targeted teens in his attempt to promote his
philosophy. What makes this book unique is his approach to how he thinks about accumulating wealth and about having money work for the earner. “Poor Dad”
accepts the notion that he will never be rich and thinks that “money doesn’t matter.” “Rich Dad” thinks that “money is power.” Teens are encouraged to be
creative in developing ways to earn cash and to limit spending. A chapter on identifying individual strengths and learning styles while developing a
financial IQ on the path to financial freedom is a lesson for any age. Sidebars and quizzes promote individual ideas and concepts. Teens will be attracted
by the notion of playing games to learn more about acquiring assets and managing money. The glossary clearly explains financial terms.
