Description
In Ember Market, vibrant stalls line cobblestone lanes beneath fluttering banners, and the scent of spices mingles with sweet pastry aromas. Once a year, children from across Terranova gather for the Marketplace Money Mission—a lively festival in which ten tokens spark big ideas. Twelve-year-old Rumi has always loved coin counting, but this day will teach him more than arithmetic: he will haggle for bulk flour discounts, sketch a hand-drawn ledger to record every spent token, and adjust prices on the fly when customers rush in. When a mixer breaks and priorities shift, Rumi learns the value of emergency funds and contingency planning. Alongside friends Mira and Jace, he discovers that generosity—donating a share of net profits—makes every mission truly rewarding. This preface invites readers into a world where financial savvy meets warm-hearted community spirit, proving that money missions can blend learning, laughter, kindness, and excitement in equal measure.
