A source for teachers, parents and teens! Don Silver has filled a real-world learning gap with his latest book, the High School Money Book. This book can be an eye-opening and life-changing reading experience. And, with most chapters just one to two pages long, the High School Money Book is a short, easy-to-read, step-by-step guide that's readily accessible for teens. The 101 chapters in this 153-page book cover "Money-Smart Ways" to think about money, live day-to-day, shop, work, handle debt and credit, make charitable gifts, discuss money with parents, save and pay for college, deal with financial institutions, keep financial records and make money grow by saving and investing.
