Catherine Daly has written many books for young readers, including The Magical Reality of Nadia and The Magical Reality of Nadia- Middle School Mischief, both with Bassem Youssef, What Was the Age of Exploration?, the Petal Pushers middle-grade series, and books in the Makers Make It Work series. She lives in New York City with her family and their feisty Boston terrier, Jack.
""This early chapter book series is focused on teaching children about financial literacy, with a focus on budgeting...the lessons about friendship and working together are on target. Fans of series such as 'J.D. the Kid Barber' by Akeem S. Roberts and J. Dillard, and 'Zoey and Sassafras' by Asia Citro and Marion Lindsay will enjoy. A recommended purchase for most collections.""—School Library Journal
