More Description A twelve-year-old takes on the stock market in this money-minded middle grade novel that Publishers Weekly calls "a smart pick."
It all starts when seventh grader Lindy Sachs is granted one hundred dollars and access to her father's online trading account as a way to alleviate her boredom while she's home sick from school.
