Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
Make "cents" out of money with this no-nonsense guide to managing your dollars and cents. Ten exceptionally informative chapters cover a variety of money-related topics, including how to make it, spend it, budget it, invest it, and save it. Lots of practical suggestions on how to earn money are provided, as are helpful ideas for finding, getting and keeping a job. And once you have money in your pocket, what do you do next? Do you spend it or give it away? Or, as the author emphasizes over and over again, save it—and even put it to work? The "Making Your Money Grow" chapter has easy-to-understand explanations of savings accounts, saving bonds and the stock market. After you have read the book, use your newfound knowledge to take the final exam, using a worksheet to create your own financial plan. This book would be an excellent addition to any math curriculum that includes real-life skills. It is also one that savvy parents and kids should share. Reviewer: Anita Barnes Lowen

From The Critics
This is a great little reference guide for teenage girls to peruse and learn about money matters. For the entrepreneurial soul, it lists jobs, what they entail, and what you should be charging for your services. There is advice on how to find a job, and how to be successful at the ever-important interview and how you should prepare for it. The part about savings is particularly good because it stresses short and long term goals and everyday saving tips. It explains how savings accounts work and other options such as ATM and debit cards. The enlightening section on stocks and how to read stock listings is probably the most pertinent part of the book. It even explains diversification simply. This is an important addition to any collection. Reviewer: Sherri Ginsberg

    Painlessly takes the reader through the world of money

    This book is a basic introduction to the world of money for teens; how to get it, save it and spend it.

    Before you can spend money on clothes or an MP3 player, you need some money coming in, so a job is a requirement. Apply at a favorite store at the mall, or the local supermarket, or advertise in your neighborhood as a dog walker. This is the time to put on your thinking cap and get creative. If you are underage, get the approval of your parents first.

    Now that you have a steady income, what do you do with it? The authors suggest creating four "pots." Put 30 percent toward everyday expenses, another 30 percent toward short-term savings (like a new pair of boots) and the other 30 percent toward long-term savings (it's never too early to start saving for college or a car). Consider giving the last 10 percent to charity.

    How do you get the most out of each dollar spent? Don't be afraid to shop at second-hand or thrift stores. Many times generic cosmetics have the exact same ingredients as the brand-name cosmetics; you are paying for the marketing and fancy packaging. Do your own nails. Read the details of your cellphone plan and know exactly what you are paying for. Bottle your own water instead of paying for it, and think about hosting a DVD night with your friends instead of going to the movies.

    Savings accounts are an easy, and safe, way of making your money grow. For those who are more daring, perhaps investing in the stock market is the way to go. The potential payoff is greater, but so is the risk of losing your money.

    There are alternatives to "retail therapy," the pick-me-up that comes from spending money. Hold a clothing swap, exercise, discover the things that your library has for free or become a volunteer at an organization that does work that you care about.

    The authors do a wonderful job at painlessly taking the reader through the world of money. There are colors and graphics throughout, so it is really easy to read. Boys should not be put off by the title, this book is equally recommended for you, too.

    Teen thinks all the content is good

    Got it for my 16 year old daughter who asks about work and money all the time. First look at the cover, she handed it back. The girl on cover is a cheerleader shopping type teen. The info is for all types, so maybe pics of different types of teens would have been easier on my getting her to read it. She did finally open it, (Whew) then she reported that the info is all good. I thought so too, very thorough on financial info from savings to banks to budgets!

    Fun with Practical Yet Great Ideas!

    I purchased this book for my 10 year-old daughter. She thought it was great for teen girls because it gave a lot of good advice about saving for purchases. It also helped her think of some creative ways to earn money in the future, some of which we would not necessarily have thought of on our own.
