A children's book that cleverly combines storytelling with financial education.

10 Things This Book Will Teach Your Kids

From Frankie's mistakes, kids will learn ...

... plus at the end of each chapter there is a puzzle for kids to complete which helps them solve Frankie's Mystery Money Picture

Let Me Tell You More About The Book ...

Frankie Fortune has one goal: Get rich. Fast.

The problem? He believes almost everything he sees on the internet.

From viral trends and online scams to investing, entrepreneurship, debt, marketing and charity, every chapter sees Frankie diving headfirst into another money-making idea… with hilarious consequences.

Luckily, his sensible friends Chad and Mia are there to help him discover what really works.

Rather than simply telling children about money, Frankie Fortune lets them experience the lessons through an unforgettable adventure. Each mistake becomes a lesson, helping young readers understand how to earn, save and grow their money while developing the confidence to think critically about what they see online.

Packed with humour, memorable characters and practical money lessons, Frankie Fortune is perfect for children aged 6+ to read independently or enjoy together with parents. Every chapter finishes with a quiz, and the book concludes with a visual memory challenge that helps reinforce the lessons long after the story has finished.

If you've ever heard an adult say, "I wish I'd learned about money when I was younger," this is the book they wish they'd had.

"Will Rainey has done it again. Frankie Fortune gave me a way to talk with my children about something most kids’ books never address: how to balance the courage to chase an exciting idea with the wisdom to question what you see online. It is funny, practical, and opened up meaningful conversations about scams, investing, failure, and why ‘too good to be true’ should give us a reason to pause. I loved reading it with my kids and highly recommend it."

"The internet taught Frankie to chase shortcuts. This book teaches him, and your kids, why they don't work. My 12-year-old really enjoyed reading this book and thought the misadventures Frankie gets into were funny."

“I read the whole book, and my brother and I loved it, even though we didn’t get the puzzle right! Frankie getting himself into trouble was really funny, especially the alpha walk. It taught me about money and investing, and that you shouldn’t believe everything you see on the internet until you make sure it’s true 😊”
