Thankfully, her mom comes to the rescue: she'll teach Holland how to grow her money by investing!

Children who join Holland and her younger sister, London, on their adventure will learn about the basics of investing, especially in stocks, and increase their financial vocabulary. And who knows? Maybe the adults reading this book will learn a thing or two as well!
