Money is less about math and more about behavior. Housel makes that case better than most.

Required reading if you grew up in India. Kalam makes ambition feel earned, not given.

Slightly more procedural than Famous Five. I had strong opinions about which series was better.

A mouse who runs a newspaper. The books had sound effects printed into the text. I thought that was the most sophisticated thing I had ever seen.
