Nathan Waldron

Nathan Waldron writes stories about money for children who are still working out what it is.

Ava Saves Up! is the first book in the Pocket Money Adventures series, set in Silverton, a city where speed is everything and Ava wants a pair of Super Speed Trainers she cannot afford. It is a story about the gap between wanting something and being ready to buy it, and about the small habit that closes it. Tap. Tap. Pause. Save some. Spend some. Share some if you can.

He is a financial planner by trade, which is where the books come from. Most money advice arrives late, aimed at adults who have been doing it one way for thirty years. These books start earlier, and they start with the feeling rather than the arithmetic — the I-want-it-now that shows up in the body before any decision gets made.

He lives in Staffordshire. The second book, Ava's Big Race, is on the way.
