Two layers.
One story.
Children experience adventure and comedy. Adults recognize financial behavior patterns playing out in real situations. Neither layer announces itself.
The Series
This is what your students will see.
The characters, the world, the energy — built from the ground up to hold a child's attention while the behavioral concepts do their work underneath.

The Architecture
Children absorb behavior before they can name it. That's the design.
Every book in the Adventures series operates on two simultaneous frequencies. The child never sees the second layer. The adult can't unsee it.
Adventure & Comedy
Children experience an adventure story — something is happening, somebody noticed it, The Magpyes figure it out. Humor, heart, and genuine stakes. The financial concepts are completely invisible.
Behavioral Finance Patterns
Grown-ups reading alongside recognize the exact behavior patterns — loss aversion, information asymmetry, authority legitimacy, voluntary exchange, social proof. Both layers are real. Neither announces itself.
Why It Works
Behavior is installed before it's named.
Children recognize the pattern from the story when they encounter it in real life — often years later.
The story carries the behavior without requiring a lesson. Children don't feel taught. They feel like they figured something out.
The Name Nothing Rule ensures the financial concept never becomes the point of the adventure. The adventure is always the point.
Behavioral Archetypes
Six characters. Six financial behavior patterns a child can see themselves in.
Miller
High-risk, high-reward thinking. Natural loss aversion bypass. Miller demonstrates what happens when you optimize for action over information — sometimes brilliantly, sometimes expensively.
Naiya
Social proof dynamics. Authority legitimacy. The cost of being positioned as the expert when the domain shifts.
Macon
Loss aversion in its clearest form. The endowment effect. Why parting with something feels qualitatively different from not gaining the same thing.
Ava
Information credibility. Expertise discounted by proximity and age. What it costs to be right and young.
Sai
Value vs. price. Voluntary exchange creates surplus on both sides. Optimizing for what actually matters, not for what is measurable.
Brooke-Lynn
The economics of honest information. What it costs to be the person who tells the truth. Social value of accurate signal in a group.
FLIQ Score — Financial Literacy Intelligence Quotient
The data your students generate — automatically.
Every book in the Adventures series connects to a behavioral assessment framework. Students don't take a test — the FLIQ Score is built from how they engage. Below is what that data looks like.
FLIQ Score — Student Assessment

Sample data shown for illustration purposes. FLIQ Score is generated through the $100 Week simulation, CoinQuest, and book-linked behavioral assessments — not traditional testing.
The Ecosystem
The books are the entry point. The franchise is the destination.
Schools and libraries that bring in the Adventures series today are establishing a relationship with a franchise property — not purchasing a unit study.
Adventures Books
Where financial behavior is first observed — embedded invisibly inside an adventure children actually want to read. No lesson plan required.
$100 Week™ + CoinQuest™
Where behavior is practiced. A browser simulation and a student fintech app that generate real, quantifiable behavioral data through play.
iMPACT Partners™
Where educators become certified facilitators. The institutional layer that certifies delivery across classrooms, after-school programs, and districts.
Five-book series — available through inquiry. The ecosystem is live. Schools piloting today are joining a planned 10-book franchise arc.

We are actively expanding the pilot cohort. Curriculum directors, principals, librarians, and program administrators — if you work with K–8 students, this is the inquiry to submit.
First-mover access to a planned 10-book franchise arc
You are not licensing a workbook. Schools piloting today are establishing their institution in a growing ecosystem while it is still in its early chapters.
FLIQ Score™ behavioral data — proprietary to this program
The Adventures series is built to generate behavioral assessment data — quantified through the FLIQ Score framework. Your students' financial decision-making patterns, tracked over time.
Zero lesson planning required
The curriculum lives inside the story. Implementation begins with a book and a read-aloud. The iMPACT Partners certification handles the educator layer.
Eligible for Title IV-A, Part A funding
The program maps directly to Well-Rounded Education programs funded under ESSA. We provide documentation for budget alignment.
