The Liberty Island Series

One island, many fables. Short stories that explain how money, wealth, and freedom actually work, written so a child can follow and an adult still learns something. Almost every absurd thing that happens on the island is drawn from real events. Only the species changed.

The flagship novel, No Silver on Rat Island, earned a Readers’ Favorite 5-star review. This is a collection that keeps growing, with more titles in preparation.

The books

Book 1 · The flagship novel

No Silver on Rat Island

A fable about inflation and where the money goes. A colony of rats learns to print a paper they call Hojas, while the real money quietly disappears. It is the Cantillon effect and inflation as a hidden tax, told as a story a child can follow. Readers’ Favorite gave it a 5-star review.

What comes next

A collection that keeps growing.

The island is a place I keep returning to. Each fable takes one idea about money, wealth, or freedom and makes it something a child can hold, without the jargon, the equations, or the footnotes. More titles are in preparation, set on the same island, with the same animals learning the same hard lessons the rest of us learn the slow way.

Start with No Silver on Rat Island, the flagship novel, then read The Wealth of the Island with the youngest reader in your house. See everything on my Amazon author store.
