Looking for recommendations on books/courses for a teenager

My father gave me a copy of A Random Walk Down Wall Street when I was 15 as my intro to investing. My son just turned 13 and my daughter is close behind. I'm looking for any recommendations for books or other material on investing and finance educational that might be good for that age group. I'm trying to get the kids informed as early as possible as my parents did for me.

I really enjoyed Rich Dad Poor Dad. It really helped me with how people use debt.

Why not turn on CNBC, Bloomberg, or Amit on YouTube and start talking through some stuff? Answer any questions that they may have.
Buy your kids a few share of exciting stocks. It may get them hooked.
I'm gonna let you in on a little secret: Kids stopped reading about 5-10 years ago. Like, stopped cold.

The Most Important Thing by Howard Marks. Have given it to all my young ones (all grown now), and the principles have served them well.

Not accurate, my kids read a lot. They go through 5-6 books a month. They read much more than I do. I'd also like something they can go back and reference and not point them to TV or Youtube. God forbid they decide to pay attention to Jim Kramer.

Didn't even think of this one and it's already sitting on my book shelf! It's even a signed copy.

Does The Money Paper still exist?
Better Investing is a publication.

There are likely a bunch of great online articles by various people.
Bulls Make Money, Bears Make Money, Pigs Get Slaughtered is an easy read. Gallea wrote it

I really like this one. It's a book about abstract ideas rather than formulas, so teenagers can pick it up and remember the principles without trying to figure out what a standard deviation is.
Some of the Little Books, Big Profits series are good, though I haven't read the vast majority of them to know if they all are. I believe someone else recommended Bogle's; I can recommend Joel Greenblatt's, Christopher Browne's, and Aswath Damodaran's. I'd avoid Michael Covel's since I consider him to be scummy with some of his marketing antics and thus unreliable.
I've gifted Fooled by Randomness and The Black Swan to high school and college grads.

I'll start by saying that I haven't read the book and that I agree with the premise that regular retail should play it safe since they have no edge, but I disagree with some of the author's arguments to try to make that point. I wouldn't call it a terrible book, but if your kids do enough digging into the world of financial markets, they can find some conflicting evidence and/or additional information that puts some arguments in a different light.

Richest Man in Babylon is a very easy read and a classic.

Imo understanding where you are in historical cycles is key.

This one is a first hand account of the previous fourth turning by an Austrian/Swiss banker/sage who accurately predicted both world wars, Oct '29, the depression and the rise of Hitler years before any of it happened based on nothing more than an understanding of macroeconomic forces. You might find a copy in a library but the cheapest I found for sale was $1k. However, for the cost of a couple ink cartridges it is available on archive.
