School of Money by GILBERT OLENDI

Hot Nairobi Baddies: Boss Babe Edition is a premium financial-literacy workbook and graphic novel disguised as a high-fashion Nairobi adventure. The bold, trendy title is designed to grab the attention of smart pre-teens and teens—but underneath the glamour is a powerful introduction to money, business, investing, and long-term financial independence. Set across Nairobi, the story tackles real-world issues young people are already exposed to, from peer pressure and lifestyle inflation to the temptation to spend before building wealth. Readers learn an essential principle early: build assets before chasing appearances. But this isn't a book children simply read and put away. **Hot Nairobi Baddies** is an interactive business playbook designed to keep young minds engaged for months. Readers step into the role of young entrepreneurs through challenges such as the **KSh 10,000 Business Challenge, Baddies Business Bingo, and The Crisis Hot Seat**, where they make business decisions, calculate costs, think about profit, solve unexpected problems, and build entrepreneurial confidence. Along the way, they explore concepts including **saving, emergency funds, investing, stock markets, entrepreneurship, networking, and financial discipline**—all presented through colourful stories, challenges, characters, and Nairobi culture. The result is a book that makes financial literacy feel less like homework and more like an adventure. Because the goal isn't just to raise a child who knows how to spend money. It's to raise a future boss who knows how to build it.
