Book excerpt: When a family buys a house in a struggling town for just one dollar, they’re hoping to start over — but have they traded one set of problems for another? Twelve-year-old Lowen Grover, a budding comic-book artist, is still reeling from the shooting death of his friend Abe when he stumbles across an article about a former mill town giving away homes for just one dollar. It not only seems like the perfect escape from Flintlock and all of the awful memories associated with the city, but an opportunity for his mum to run her very own business. Fortunately, his family is willing to give it a try. But is the Dollar Program too good to be true? The homes are in horrible shape, and the locals are less than welcoming. Will Millville and the dollar house be the answer to the Grovers’ troubles? Or will they find they’ve traded one set of problems for another? From the author of Small as an Elephant and Paper Things comes a heart-tugging novel about guilt and grief, family and friendship, and, above all, community.

Book excerpt: I want you to meet our main character, David Kareem, a Muslim kid who's just earned a dollar for his allowance and wants to spend his money on some tasty candy like any other normal child, especially my own. But after he spends it, David is curious to know exactly where it went.David asks his father a simple question, "Daddy, where did my dollar go?" David's father Brother Amir takes him on a journey throughout the community to see how the dollar he just spent makes its way to other businesses.A Wonderful Story in the MakingWe often preach about our children learning the importance of money, group economics, and developing healthy spending. How awesome would it be to have a fully illustrated picture book that explores how a dollar travels from hand-to-hand?!David's Dollar is a book 4 years in the making. I wasn't quite sure how to bring the concept I had buried in my head to life until this past year. It would seem like being a poet would make it easier. It didn't (laughs). Nevertheless I was finally able to write a compelling children's book about spending local and in our community.Bringing group economics into an easy story will help children in the critical thinking areas of:1. Drawing Conclusions2. Making Inferences3. Making PredictionsWhy David's Dollar?Listen to the experts:Beth Kobliner, author of the New York Times bestseller Get a Financial Life, and a member of the President's Advisory Council on Financial Capability who spearheaded the creation of Money as You Grow, which offers age-appropriate money lessons for children.Kobliner says children as young as three years old can grasp financial concepts like saving and spending. And a report by researchers at the University of Cambridge commissioned by the United Kingdom's Money Advice Service revealed that kids' money habits are formed by age 7.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When forced to choose between staying with her guardian and being with her big brother, Ari chose her big brother. There’s just one problem—Gage doesn’t actually have a place to live. When Ari’s mother died four years ago, she had two final wishes: that Ari and her older brother, Gage, would stay together always, and that Ari would go to Carter, the middle school for gifted students. So when nineteen-year-old Gage decides he can no longer live with their bossy guardian, Janna, Ari knows she has to go with him. But it’s been two months, and Gage still hasn’t found them an apartment. He and Ari have been “couch surfing,” staying with Gage’s friend in a tiny apartment, crashing with Gage’s girlfriend and two roommates, and if necessary, sneaking into a juvenile shelter to escape the cold Maine nights. But all of this jumping around makes it hard for Ari to keep up with her schoolwork, never mind her friendships, and getting into Carter starts to seem impossible. Will Ari be forced to break one of her promises to Mama? Told in an open, authentic voice, this nuanced story of hiding in plain sight may have readers thinking about homelessness in a whole new way.

And now all he has is bus tokens. When he used to be rich last Sunday.
