The coolest skateboard in the store… or the smartest choice for your wallet?

Decisions, Decisions introduces young readers ages 9–12 (Grades 4–6) to smart spending, budgeting and informed financial decisions.

Lisa has saved up for a skateboard and lessons, but a flashy, expensive model catches her eye! With a persuasive salesperson pushing her to spend more and Samuel encouraging her to think twice, will she stick to her budget?
