What do you think of Cashflow for kids? We have but it seemed a bit too easy for my oldest.
As for the Theif book, I honestly didn't read it. I heard from a few that it was good so I got it to read aloud to the kids and he devoured it before I got the chance. He didn't mention anything about affairs. Maybe I should ask him. He LOVES greek mythology and so it was right up his ally.
We have K12 here but that is a close to public school as you get that way. My sisinlaws do it, but I honestly can't handle being told what to do and what to use as cirric or when to do it. I use the library more before I would do K12. But the locals that use it love it, so who knows?!
