If you need something to keep you company while you are traveling, you are in luck. All this summer, we’re asking our friends in finance to share some of their favorite books.

Julie Mayfield, who writes about family finances at TheFamilyCEO.com, recommends:

• “Debt-Free U: How I Paid for an Outstanding College Education Without Loans, Scholarships, or Mooching off My Parents” by Zac Bissonnette: “The strength of this book is that it challenges the traditional thinking on college. So even if you don’t reach all of the same conclusions he does, it is going to make you think.”

• “How to Go to College Almost for Free” by Ben Kaplan:“Ben graduated from Harvard debt free, and covered most of his college costs with scholarships that he won. [The book is] a real step-by-step guide to approaching the scholarship search”
