Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
The Money Club
Jasmine Brown · 2019
72/100
👍 Worth It
Jasmine Brown turns high school personal finance — budgeting, credit, investing, college costs — into a readable classroom story with authentic teen voices, and the companion workbook makes it genuinely useful rather than just entertaining. It works best as a curriculum tool; independent readers may find the classroom framing a little forced, but the substance is solid and the gap it fills is real.
