The Ultimate Gift is a thought-provoking novel that invites students of all ages to wrestle with the important questions such as: What would you do if you inherited millions of dollars? What values would shape your choices?

As students reflect on their futures, this compelling story offers a fresh, engaging perspective on money, success, and true wealth. Especially popular among entrepreneurial-minded students, the book challenges readers to “think bigger” about what truly matters in life—both practically and philosophically.

Through the journey of the main character, students can see themselves and the importance of a selfless rather than self-centered life. Along the way, they’ll gain insights into Christian stewardship, responsibility, and a healthy relationship with wealth.

This accessible novel is a quicker read than some others in our 6th grade curriculum, allowing students to dive deeper into enrichment activities like the Dream Project, where they creatively apply what they’ve learned. Focused reading, writing, and critical thinking exercises further reinforce key academic skills.
