The book

Get the book

64 pages. Here is exactly what that gets you, and who it is not for.

Everything on this site is free and unlocked, first visit, no account. The book is the only scarce thing here, so it is worth being precise about what it is: a short, illustrated, deliberately finishable playbook, with fifteen stories the site does not carry.

The front cover of Teen & Grow Rich: the title in heavy condensed capitals across a blue-hour harbour photograph, above the line 'Think bigger. Build real skills. Start now.' and 'By Ryan Rijvers'.

The physical truth

Pages

64 printed pages.

Size

140 × 216 mm.

Words

About 10,600, body text only.

Reading time

About 53 minutes straight through, at 200 words a minute — and longer if you are actually reading it. Straight through is not how it is meant to be used: every chapter ends in something to go and do.

Written for

Readers aged 13 and up. English only.

Edition

The Condensed Gen Z Edition. First print run, 2026.

Publisher

Bright Kids.

Author

Ryan Rijvers, who was thirteen when he wrote it.

The word count was measured from the print file itself — every text block on all 66 pages of the digital edition, with the running header, the strapline and the page numbers dropped — and then rounded down to the nearest hundred. The raw count was 10,687. The reading time is that number divided by 200, which is an assumption about you rather than a fact about the book. You are welcome to check both.

What the book has that this site does not

The 15 stories

One per chapter. Fictional composites, labelled as such on printed page 2, and the reason the ideas land instead of sitting there as advice.

The Hill Remix essays

What each of Napoleon Hill's principles actually said, and what happens to it when you move it into a teenager's life.

What It Means Now

The closing passage of every chapter — the part that connects the idea to the week you are actually having.

Each of those is teased on its chapter page here, with the printed page number, so you can see what you would be reading before you decide anything.

What is on this site instead, free

The tools are all here. Not a sample of them, not a locked preview, and not behind an email address:

  • 19 24-hour builds, each with a timer and a printable receipt
  • 19 Reality Checks, in full, every one of them
  • 75 Play steps across the 15 chapters
  • 32 worksheet fields across the four worksheets
  • 34 dated actions in the 90-day path and the 30-day Tiny Launch
  • 7 safe first offers

Start with the builds if you have twenty minutes, or read the Reality Checks if you are an adult deciding whether this is safe for someone in your house. Both are the real thing, not a sample.

Who it is not for

  • Anyone who wants a number. There are no income figures in the book and none on this site.
  • Anyone who wants it done for them. Every chapter ends in a build you have to actually do.
  • Anyone who wants length. It is 64 pages. That is a decision, not a shortfall, but if a long book is what you are after, this is not it.
  • Anyone under 13. It is written for 13 and up, and several chapters ask you to bring in a parent or guardian before you act.

If you read that list and still want the book, you are the reader it was written for.

The free starter chapter

A whole chapter, complete, with its build and its Reality Check. No email address, no sign-up, no “enter your details to download”. There is nowhere on this site to enter your details, which is the point.

File not in place yet

The starter chapter will publish as a page you can read here and as a PDF you can print — a PDF alone is invisible on a projector and often blocked by a school filter. Neither file is in the repository yet, so nothing is linked rather than linking you to a 404.

Where to buy it

Retailer link pending

The book is sold through an outside retailer, and the link is not confirmed yet. It will appear here, plainly, with no countdown attached to it.

When it does: the retailer handles the payment, the delivery and the returns. This site never sees your name, your address or your card, because it has no way to receive them.

Nothing about buying the book unlocks anything on this site, and nothing on this site expires. See the terms and the privacy page.
