Description
Welcome to Crossroads, a border village where coins rarely change hands—and the magic of trade springs from everyday creativity. I’m delighted to introduce you to Ezra, a resourceful twelve-year-old with big dreams and an empty ledger. When he decides to save twenty tokens for a trading post, he discovers that value lives not in coins tucked under a pillow but in the spirit of fair exchange. From handcrafted leather bracelets to jars of golden honey, Ezra navigates the rhythm of barter, learning arithmetic and negotiation, patience and resilience along the way. Children will laugh at his misadventures (watch out for those mischievous goats!) and cheer when he innovates with pail-cleaning services and berry bushes. By the final chapter, Ezra will have taken every trade seriously, recorded every token faithfully, and finally banked his hard-earned coins. May his story inspire you to see the value in every swap, to keep careful records, and to dream fearlessly.
