Saving & Investing

LoveReading4Kids Says

The art – and importance – of building up savings is explained in this bright, accessible and useful book. By describing the best ways to save up to buy things you really want, it first makes the principle very appealing for young people and then goes on to explain, again clearly and through examples that they will appreciate, the different ways there are to make your pot of money grow, from using savings accounts, to investing in stocks and shares, or even using crowdfunders.

The author takes a video game company as the model, demonstrating how shares can go down as well as up. The book also tackles the subject of pensions, probably something young people don’t think about at all, but which of course is really important. Once you know how a pension works, which you will after reading this, it becomes much more interesting.

Information panels advise readers on how to protect themselves against scams, while a fun quiz helps consolidate all that’s been learned. Another useful book in a very rewarding series.
