I wish this has been available to me when I was about 12. Incredibly useful.

In this highly interactive book, pre-teens and teens get a chance to learn all about money.
Not just the dollars and cents of it, but things school doesn't teach you, like facts about state and local income tax, how credit cards really work, what the stock market is and how you can take advantage of it, how to save for your retirement, and even how to go about starting your own business.
Although aimed towards girls, I found IT'S A MONEY THING! a great beginner's guide to managing your money that would be perfect for boys, as well. Although most boys might not take advantage of the journal pages or the fill-in-the-blanks lists and charts available in the book, it would still make a great guide to anyone looking for a primer on how money really works -- and how you can get it to work for you.
Even as an adult, I found a lot of things to be highly helpful in this book, especially the breakdown and translation of stock terms, the additional listings of websites about money and finance, and the glossary. All in all, this is one book that would make a perfect addition to any home or school library.

Picked up a new copy on the $1 clearance shelf at Half Price Books... thought of a teen relative that might make use of it. I could've used this when I was at that age; it seems I've been 'meaning to' learn about investing for the past 25 years. The picture she paints of veterinarians and their supposedly high relative income would have made me even more delusional than I was, but then the book is from California where people are probably willing to spend more on their pets than here in the south. She wasn't very meticulous on researching the education required for vets, either, so on second thought maybe the rest of the info should be taken with a grain of salt, too.
