Disclaimer

This story is fiction. Maya, her mates, and everything that happens to them came out of my imagination. Any resemblance to real people is pure coincidence.

I’ve done my best to keep the money stuff accurate, but rules, rates, and prices change all the time — so don’t treat anything in here as financial advice. If you need proper guidance, talk to a trusted adult or check gov.uk.

Brand names pop up throughout because that’s how real people talk. No one’s paying me to mention them.

Teachers and educators: you are welcome to use this book in your classroom. No permission needed. If you’d like a chapter-by-curriculum mapping or discussion questions, visit clairepublishing.com.

Now go read the story.
