An infant is discovered one night on a commuter train from New York City during a stop in the sleepy town of Wallingford, Connecticut. The local police are summoned, but are unable to locate the boy’s parents, despite painstakingly questioning each person on the train.

Assigned the name "Toby Gold" by social services, the mysterious child grows up in Wallingford, moving from foster home to foster home not knowing who his real parents are – or why he was born with such freakish skills with math and money.

Now a teenager, Toby suddenly finds himself involved in a financial conspiracy that puts his life, and the lives of his two closest friends, in great peril. Ultimately, Toby solves the crime, saves his friends, and even saves his school using only his amazing money skills – and some chocolate pudding.
"Unique children’s lit that cleverly tackles interest rates, endowments, fluctuating commodities, bullying and identity."  
        - Kirkus Reviews

"This fast-paced adventure weaves fundamental concepts in economics and finance seamlessly into the story.  Toby Gold makes learning finance exciting." 
       -  Francis A. Longstaff, PhD.  Professor of Finance, UCLA Anderson School
