Gr 7 Up-In this age of easy credit, teens need to learn some hard facts before they start handling their own finances. This volume addresses the nuts and bolts and potential problems of shopping, banking, and charging. Each chapter is devoted to a specific topic, such as balancing a checkbook, paying for college, or buying a car. The writing is down-to-earth but filled with valuable information on interest rates, budgeting, and credit-card payments. The informative illustrations include examples of utility bills, checkbook registers, etc. Numerous dialogue boxes give definitions of complicated terms and ask readers to consider such questions as how to make tipping easier and how to save for the prom. An accessible book for those who have to make the most of their limited resources.-Christine A. Moesch, Buffalo & Erie County Public Library, NY (c) Copyright 2010.

Gr. 6^-9. Finally, a book that answers the question that plagues many students: How does math relate to my life? This solid, clearly written resource explains why math matters while encouraging good money habits and demystifying real-world money issues. Although the book touches on how numbers affect all facets of life, its focus on the bottom line is what will catch readers' interest. The nicely organized design and lively artwork make the subject less daunting, and the authoritative yet respectful text arms readers with all the information necessary to make mature financial decisions--from deciding what type of bank account to open to buying a car and securing a school loan. The latest information on debit cards and using credit on the Net is also included in this valuable how-to on spending, saving, and investing. Students older than the target audience might find some useful information here, although the cartoon illustrations give the book a young look. --Kathleen Squires
