The Concert Dilemma

The Concert Dilemma is a story-based financial literacy book that introduces kids to real-world money decisions through a relatable and engaging story. When the BOSS Squad wants to attend a concert, they quickly learn that excitement alone isn’t enough — planning, saving, and smart choices matter. Through everyday situations, young readers explore concepts like earning money, setting savings goals, understanding trade-offs, and making thoughtful spending decisions. The story encourages reflection without shame and shows that learning from mistakes is part of building confidence with money. Designed for ages 8–12, The Concert Dilemma supports independent reading as well as guided discussion in classrooms, libraries, and family settings. Additional discussion questions and caregiver guidance make it a practical tool for educators and parents looking to introduce financial literacy in an accessible way.
