Learn from the different economic and political consequences as the Tuttle twins navigate some difficult circumstances!

#1: The Tuttle Twins and the Hyperinflation Devastation

It’s the perfect vacation: the Tuttle twins have saved their money, planned things out thoroughly, and are ready to head off to South America to water ski, hike the jungles, and see some of the world’s oldest ruins. What could go wrong?

Nearly everything, as it turns out. But that’s for you to decide.

You’re in the driver seat of the story to determine what the consequences will be. Will you send Ethan and Emily to the ruins, know- ing that they are tough, smart, and well-prepared? Or will you keep them in the capital city so they remain connected with the outside world, just in case things go wrong? You make the decisions—and see the consequences unfold.

Along the way, you’ll learn about inflation, community, cryptocurrency, and some of the lengths people are willing to go in a Hyperinflation Devastation!

5 possible endings; 405 pages of content!

#2: The Tuttle Twins and the Little Pink House

The Tuttle twins are off to visit Grandma’s quaint, pink house on the banks of the Monongahela river to celebrate Independence Day. There are parades and rope swings, and all the things that make a vacation grand.

But it’s not all fun and games. When a greedy corporation schemes to take over Grandma’s land and push her house into the river, can the twins stop it and come to her rescue? Can you help them?

Should the twins befriend the quirky, secretive editor of the local paper? Go searching for a river monster? Investigate the strange people north of town? Should they go it on their own, or get some new friends involved?

It’s all up to you—the zoning fights, the referendum, the ancient artifacts—and your decisions will guide the twins either to victory or defeat. Can you save the Little Pink House?

10 possible endings; 496 pages of content!

#3: The Tuttle Twins and the Case of the Broken Window

It’s a perfect day for a game of baseball, and the Tuttle twins are determined to finally beat the rival team from the neighborhood. The game-winning home run from Emily gets them what they want… along with a whole lot of trouble they could never have expected.

Can they figure out how to make things right with the owners of the broken window? What if they get help from you?

You’re there every step of the way as the twins face scheming salesmen, a fleet of bulldozers, and a city out of control. Will the twins face the police and an irate priest? Will they do what it takes to stop some new friends from losing their homes? What about the garden-gnome-come-to-life named Goofer?

They’re all here for you to meet, and no one can save the twins from the consequences of the broken window—no one but you.

9 possible endings; 279 pages of content! 

#4: The Tuttle Twins and the Play for Power

Dennis Forde, Secretary of State, has died, and the Tuttle Twins are headed for the funeral. Little do they know the opportunities—for good and bad—that will come from this event. Aunt Cathy—Mom’s sister—worked for Forde and has a big decision to make. Will she try to replace him? A millionaire businessman wants to run for Senate. And both of them want to tap into that Tuttle Twins power.

Will they succeed? It’s your call.

Along the way, there are shark-fin car toppers, stolen campaign materials, music festivals, fundraising, spying, new friends—girl- friends?—and plenty of opportunities for Ethan and Emily to show off their skills. They’ll need all of them to successfully navigate one of their toughest challenges so far: the Race for the State.

Do they have what it takes to win? Do you?

#1: The Tuttle Twins Guide to Modern Villains

What is it about human nature that leads some people to commit unspeakably evil acts?

And, perhaps a more important question for each of us, why do so many people submit to or even support these villains?

World history sadly offers us a long list of dictators and totalitarian thugs who used their power to steal from and oppress their countrymen—and kill those who defied them.

As tragic as these stories all are, they can still offer us lessons to learn from if we try to understand why these people acted the way they did—both those in control and those who were controlled.

These lessons may just have the key we need to help make sure the list of future villains is far shorter than the list in this book.

Villains included:

  • Napoleon Bonaparte
  • Karl Marx
  • Leopold II
  • Woodrow Wilson
  • Nicholas II
  • Vladimir Lenin

  • Adolf Hitler

#2: The Tuttle Twins Guide to Courageous Heroes

Daring men and women aren’t just found in the pages of fictional stories. In fact, history offers us a number of examples of people who stood up for what was right in the face of significant opposition. Their stories can inspire us to also be courageous when the situation calls for it.

Whether the problem is a large one, like a dictatorial state or a cultural prejudice, or a small one, such as standing up to a bully, we can resolve to be a hero and fight for what is right.

That’s why the stories in this book are so impactful—they offer us an opportunity to learn lessons from the lives of a wide variety of people and ponder how we might have acted in a similar situation.

These heroes often stand out because so many of their peers failed to act likewise. Sadly, too few seem to have the courage to oppose something that is wrong. But these stories can help us prepare to be counted as someone who will choose the right!

Heroes included:

  • Corrie ten Boom
  • Harriet Tubman
  • Booker T. Washington
  • Robert Smalls

#3: The Tuttle Twins Guide to Logical Fallacies

In a society where countless ideas are being shared, debated, and analyzed, it’s more important than ever to sift out the good ones from among the bad ones. And when people you respect and trust use arguments that sound persuasive, how can you determine if they are correct?

One of the most commonly used methods of spreading misinformation is the use of a logical fallacy—a bad argument that makes something seem truthful that actually might not be. These types of arguments are used repeatedly, and there are many different types.

Fortunately, these logical fallacies can be learned, so they can be avoided. Armed with this information, you’ll be equipped to understand when people are sharing an idea that is wrong or making a claim that isn’t true. You’ll become an expert debater by being able to point out a flaw in an opponent’s argument.

That makes this book dangerous—a guidebook for teenagers and young adults who want to explore the ins and outs of how to win arguments and point out problems in others’ ideas. Use this book wisely!

#4: The Tuttle Twins Guide to Beware Your Bias

We all have them. And we know everyone else does, too. But we avoid thinking about them, even though they affect our thinking deeply. What are they? 

They are cognitive biases, and they lead our mind to do things that might not be in our best interest. We are all prone to being affected by them, yet hardly anyone takes the time to learn about them—and how to make sure they don’t have as great an impact on us. 

That’s where this guidebook comes in, helping teens and adults learn about each bias so that we can make a concerted effort to not fall prey to their powers. Armed with this information, we can think more clearly, better understand ourselves and others, and make good decisions to benefit our lives. 

This is powerful information precisely because so few people seek it. Those who read this book will have an advantage over others who are mentally manipulated without knowing it.

Biases included:

  • Anchoring
  • Sunk Cost
  • Availability Heuristic
  • Curse of Knowledge
  • Confirmation Bias

#5: The Tuttle Twins Guide to Inspiring Entrepreneurs

Throughout history, a certain few people have made risky decisions in an attempt to solve a problem that many people were experiencing, hoping that their new innovation or invention would be able to serve these people and that they—the entrepreneurs, as we call them—would be able to profit in return.

These risk-takers are the key drivers of the economy who create jobs and new products and services that make our lives more comfortable and convenient. The world becomes a better place through their efforts.

But entrepreneurs don’t always succeed. Indeed, their failures teach them powerful (and sometimes hard) lessons that they can learn from. They gain knowledge with each new attempt that makes their future efforts even more fruitful.

Their stories can serve as inspiration as you begin to determine your own path in life and whether being an entrepreneur is part of your journey.

Entrepreneurs included:

  • Adi Dassler
  • Brian Chesky & Joe Gebbia
  • Andrew Mellon
  • Elijah McCoy
  • Elon Musk
  • George Eastman
  • Hetty Green
  • Howard Schultz
  • John Rockefeller
  • Madam Walker
  • Magatte Wade
  • Powel Crosley
  • Steve Jobs
  • Wally Amos
  • Walt Disney
  • Yvon Chouinard
