(3) 4-6 The stock market is an unusual topic for a light middle-grade novel, but it largely pays off here. While twelve-year-old Lindy is laid up with mono, her dad teaches her about online trading. She's soon hooked and tempted to take bigger risks with money that's not her own. The finer points of high finance are explored less than are the risks of gambling.
