A powerful graphic novel to engage teens in stories about young people and the financial cause-and-effects of their choices. Over 400 original illustrations provide a visual showcase for eight talented artists from across America. This groundbreaking approach to teaching financial literacy recognizes the challenge - but importance - of reaching teens on their terms.
