TOBY GOLD AND THE SECRET FORTUNE
by CRAIG EVERETT
"Money
is the most dangerous magic."
"Unique
children’s lit that cleverly tackles interest rates, endowments, fluctuating
commodities, bullying and identity." 
- Kirkus Reviews
An infant is discovered
one night on a commuter train from New York City during a stop in the sleepy
town of Wallingford, Connecticut. The
local police are summoned, but are unable to locate the boy’s parents, despite painstakingly
questioning each person on the train.
For some strange reason, none of the passengers can remember seeing his
mother falling from the train – after falling victim to an assassin’s bullet.
Assigned the name “Toby
Gold” by social services, the mysterious child grows up in Wallingford, moving
from foster home to foster home, not knowing who his real parents are - or why
he was born with such freakish skills with math and money.
Now a teenager, Toby’s money skills are noticed by
the wrong people, and thus he is unwittingly sucked into a high-stakes
financial conspiracy that puts his life, and the lives of his two closest
friends, in great peril. Ultimately,
Toby solves the crime, saves his friends, and even saves his school—all in one
harrowing afternoon.
"This
fast-paced adventure weaves fundamental concepts in economics and finance
seamlessly into the story. Toby Gold makes learning finance exciting."
