Ever since Esme met Cassandra Heaven and discovered the truth about their shared legacy—that they’re Sitters, supernaturally gifted teens tasked with protecting the innocent from evil—her life has been moving at 90 mph. During the day, she chases wild toddlers, and at night, she employs a different skill set for a different kind of demon. Like, literal ones. And sometimes it’s almost fun. Her spells are getting better, her telekinesis is on point, and now that Esme’s dad and her best friend Janis know the truth, she’s no longer lying to the people she loves. She’s also learned that there’s a way to undo her mother’s curse, and with the Synod out of the picture, she might even have a chance to do it.
If she could just figure out how. But she can’t, and even with her mom living at home again, Esme can’t shake the feeling that she’s failing. Throw in the fact that Pig is still gone, Esme’s crush is MIA, and it’s cold, slushy February, and she’s in bummer city.
Esme needs a serious pick-me-up, and Janis has a plan: a Galentine’s stay-cation, with the Sitter friends Esme and Cassandra made at the Summit. Except things are getting weird in Spring River again. Esme and Cassandra just discovered a new band, and not in a good way: these guys reek of Red Magic, and their music sucks. Trouble is brewing, and if Esme’s not careful, this show might be her last—and no one likes a one-hit wonder.

The practical advice gleaned from thirty years of mentorship and mentoring, a lifetime of studying how people make money, how they lose it, and what it takes to come out ahead. THE ALGEBRA OF WEALTH will be quintessential Scott: provocative, insightful, rooted in data and science, but also profane and profound in equal measure.
THE ALGEBRA OF WEALTH will build on the fundamental principles of personal finance to account for the challenges facing today’s young (and not so young) readers. The world of work is changing around us, and young people face very different career challenges than those entering the workforce decades ago. There are new and seductive spending pitfalls, from the ever-expanding array of streaming services to Buy Now Pay Later options, all of which prey on the unsophisticated. The investment marketplace now tempts us 24/7 with crypto, zero commission stock trades, and virtual banks. Even the very notion of “retirement,” the final boss of every personal finance book, is undergoing a profound rethink, as our lifespans extend and our relationship with work evolves.

Before Mala can change the hearts and minds of her pack, she must find out once and for all exactly why she is so different. In her search for the truth, Mala discovers something surprising about her pack and herself. Could she be the one wolf who changes everything?
