A Kids' Gamebook Introducing Money Management & Entrepreneurship

A Kids' Gamebook Introducing Money Management & Entrepreneurship
When Daphne receives a $10 loan, she begins a week-long entrepreneurial adventure. It's up to the reader to guide her through a world of choices about earning, spending, and saving. From helping neighbors, choosing to spend on a treat, to making and selling flower hair clips, every decision shapes her journey and reveals valuable lessons.

Ten Dollar Adventure has been a fun exercise in not just writing but developing tools and rich features for a more active reading experience. I have been a big fan of Emacs and had to utilize the universal text editor and Org Mode to write the book. I developed tools to switch between Emacs Org Mode and Twinery when writing the book. The digital edition of the book, self-hosted because traditional e-book readers don't handle gamebooks well, has a piggy bank with an arithmetic explainer and audio narration. I also build an anonymous authentication bridge for readers of the physical book to have an online achievements tracker.
