10-Year Olds Decode the Stock Market

Most adults wish someone had explained the stock market to them when they were young.

This book does exactly that - but for kids.

Rohan spends every rupee the moment he gets it. Kavya tracks hers in a notebook. Aarav watches the financial news with his dad and picks up one exciting idea: you can grow your money using the stock market.

The three 5th graders decide to figure it out together - and along the way, they build portfolios, argue over which companies to pick, and learn lessons about patience, risk, and compound interest that most people don't encounter until adulthood.

10-Year-Olds Decode the Stock Market is a story-driven introduction to investing, written so young readers can follow without an adult translating every other sentence.

Stocks, dividends, index funds, diversification, brokers, taxes - it's all woven into lunchtime debates, birthday parties, and the kind of mistakes that make concepts stick.No quizzes.

No homework. Just three relatable characters figuring things out the way kids actually do - by being curious, asking questions, and occasionally getting it wrong before getting it right.

Includes a glossary of financial terms in kid-friendly language, and bonus chapters on building a real portfolio and becoming a young entrepreneur.

Written by Purv Taparia, a young student from Mumbai who kept wondering: why does nobody write finance books for kids?

For ages 8-14 - and any curious reader who wants to understand how the stock market actually works.
