Summary

In Financial Garden Quest, eleven-year-old Selin trades volunteer hours for tokens in an abandoned Thornridge greenhouse. With three special beds—Quick-Save Crops, Growth Investments, and Community Shares—she learns budgeting, investing, risk management, and social responsibility. From compost purchases and emergency funds to market pricing and charity deliveries, every token allocation teaches a real money lesson. Alongside her friends Jai, Mari, and Owen, Selin faces pests, rainy days, and unexpected expenses, all while recording profits in her trusty greenhouse journal. By season’s end, she’s harvested more than vegetables—she’s grown invaluable financial skills rooted in teamwork and nature’s cycle.

They're a package deal, and they tell each other everything. At least, they used to. But then Noura invites Piper out to dinner with her girlfriend Gwinny . . . and Gwinny's son, Colton—a boy Piper knows, and doesn't exactly get along with.

    To put a stop to any potential wedding bells, Piper makes a plan: break up the parents and keep things the way they are—the way they should be. When Gwinny surprises everyone with a get-to-know-each-other cruise for spring break, Piper's game is on—and Colton is in on it. The two of them work hard to make it clear that they are not one big happy family, even though it turns out that Colton might not be so bad after all. But when things with Project Break Up go a bit too far, Piper starts to question everything . . . and starts to realize that maybe a little change isn't a bad thing.
