The World of Allister Banks

Allister Banks is a young, intrepid alligator who explores remote places to find lost cities and ancient relics all while avoiding booby traps and dangerous rivals.

To date, Allister‘s relic hunting expeditions have taken place solely on Alligatros—a massive continent in the Atlantic Ocean hidden from the humans, who populate the remainder of the world.

Since the July 1954 Oceanic Peace Accords, the Alligatros continent has been the only landmass that has served as a sanctuary for intelligent alligators.

Allister’s passion for adventure and rare artifacts is matched only by his love of finance. Thus, even in the most exotic locations or deadly situations, his mind seems to turn to matters of money.

The amazing story of Allister’s most-recent hunt is chronicled in Allister Banks and the Ruby Blade (An Adventure Finance Tale).

Why Kids Need This Adventure Finance Tale

There are numerous personal finance resources available for adults on earning money, budgeting, spending, and saving / investing, but none of them seem to get the job done for kids.

Furthermore, only a fraction of the schools out there require personal finance as part of their curriculum—and even then, some of this instruction may either reach the child too late, or not be particularly engaging or practical. All of this leads to a problematic conclusion: Most kids won’t be ready to confront the financial realities of life when they turn 18 years old.
