The tone of this book is encouraging and beginner friendly. The authors bring their professional backgrounds from banking, investment, and law to this comprehensible yet comprehensive guide to investment. Teens contemplating investing can find explanations of common investment terms and how certain factors affect the economy and the stock market. Discussions on mutual funds, stock evaluations, and accounting practices are also among the many areas covered.
Separate introductions, one for teenagers and one for their parents, begin this guide. Though targeting teenagers, a chapter on tax-friendly investments and another on helping teens to manage their money are offered for parents. Linda Piwowarczyk, Romeoville, IL
