FINANCIAL EDUCATION · AGES 3–18
Books that teach money.
A game that teaches
the market.
A five-book series, a graphic-novel series, and Market Mayhem: a trading game where the price moves because you do. All of it written by one licensed professional, for his own kid first.
Book One is live now, free, narrated out loud. Never investment advice.
THE PICTURE BOOKS
One idea per book.
One story your kid will ask for again.
Every book is a real story first. The lesson rides underneath it. Book One is live now — free, narrated, with games hidden in the pages and a note for the grown-up reading along. Books Two through Five are getting the same top-to-bottom rebuild and return when they’re perfect.
Book One · Ages 3–5
The Market of Many Prices
Identical apples cost three coins, then two, then four. Magne’s first market day. Reads on phone, tablet, or desktop.

THE GRAPHIC NOVEL · AGES 14+
The Quantum Investor
Issue #1 · The Signal: A Symphony of Qubits and the Song That Outlawed Creation. In Luminal even the sky is audited — then Magne’s maybe-machine hears something answer back. 33 painted pages read as minted plates: some pages strike, one locks, and how you read mints your own Tape.
Free, no signup. Reads on any device.
TWO WALK-IN EDITIONS · LIVE NOW
Walk inside the book.

THE FLAGSHIP GAME
Market Mayhem.
The price moves because you do.
A stock-market simulation built on one idea: markets are made of people. Each round the market throws something at you and you make one decision. Chase it, fade it, or wait. Your own urgency is the thing being tested.
KIDS MODE · AGES 7–13
No money, no jargon. You can’t go broke. You can only stay calm, or not.
PRO MODE · AGES 14+
Virtual $10,000. P&L stays hidden until the end, because behavior is the lesson.
No real money anywhere in the game. A player can lose a round. A player can never owe.

THE BELL
The bell rings August 1.
The desktop beta opens that morning, and waitlist members walk in first. The full app follows in September.
THE PATH
Starts as a bedtime story.
Ends market-ready.
The books, the comics, and the game teach the same five abilities at rising ages. A kid who starts at three can walk out at eighteen a knowledgeable investor, or step straight toward finance as a profession.
Wait
Patience before anything else. The reward that grows while you hold still.
Trade & Read
Tell a fair deal from a bad one. Tell a green candle from a red one.
Own
Claim a piece of something and know exactly what it cost you.
Survive
Take a hit, protect your floor, and never touch debt.
Decide
Stay disciplined under pressure. Ready for the market, or for the profession.
Ages are guideposts, not gates. Every badge is earned by doing the thing. None can be bought.

PARENTS & TEACHERS
Free to read.
Nothing to buy.
Book One and the graphic novel are free to read on this site, narration included, on a phone, a tablet, or a desktop. Each book ends with a note for the grown-up reading along, so the car-ride conversation afterward has somewhere to go.
There are no downloads, no PDFs for sale, and nothing to check out. When the Market Mayhem beta opens August 1, a whole class will be able to play the identical market with one room code.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED PLAINLY
What parents ask first.
The KeepMore Company is a financial-education house for ages 3 to 18. It makes free, interactive picture books, a graphic-novel series called The Quantum Investor, four written courses, and Market Mayhem — a stock-market game where the price reacts to what the player does. Everything is education and entertainment, never investment advice. It is written by Nate Sillyman, who has been in finance since 2013 and licensed since 2018 (FINRA BrokerCheck, CRD #7006159).
Start with a story, not a lecture. KeepMore's picture books each carry one money idea inside a real story a young child will ask for again — Book One, "The Market of Many Prices" (ages 3–5), is live and free with narration and in-page games. As kids grow, the same ideas rise in difficulty through the later books, The Quantum Investor graphic novel (ages 14+), and Market Mayhem, a no-real-money trading game with a Kids Mode for ages 7–13. It is all free to read on this site, written by a licensed finance professional and dad.
No. The books, comics, courses, and Market Mayhem are education and entertainment. Nothing on this site recommends the purchase or sale of any security, and no game balance is real money.
The picture books run from ages 3–5 up to 9–13, each labeled on its cover. Book One (ages 3–5) is live now; Books Two through Five are being remade and return soon. The Quantum Investor graphic novel is written for 14 and up. Market Mayhem has a Kids Mode for ages 7–13 with no money and no jargon, and a Pro Mode for 14+ that plays with virtual dollars.
Nothing. Book One (fully narrated) and the graphic novel are free to read on this site, on any device, no signup. There are no downloads or PDFs for sale. The Market Mayhem beta is free to join from the waitlist.
Yes. Two walk-in editions are live now, both free with no signup and no download. Book One, The Market of Many Prices (ages 3–5), opens as 16 rooms of the city of Luminal, with narration you can turn on, music you can turn on, and count-and-compare games built into several rooms. The Quantum Investor (ages 14+) opens as 33 rooms under its audited sky, with a gold arrow to guide you. Both run right in a web browser — no headset required — and also open in full VR on a Meta Quest headset through WebXR. There is no app, no download, and no signup: open the page and you are inside the book.
The desktop beta opens August 1, gated by the waitlist. The full app release follows in September. Joining the list costs nothing and gets you access the morning the beta opens.
No. There is no real money anywhere in Market Mayhem. In Kids Mode there is no money at all, and in Pro Mode the dollars are virtual. A player can lose a round; a player can never owe anything.
