I was thinking Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith or Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell but those may be a bit advanced

The Spice And Wolf light novel series is basically all about economics, but coached in a romance/adventure/fantasy story. Might be high school minimum, though, not middle school, contained some nudity.
Though that specific one may need to wait, the idea behind it is sound: Economics isn't interesting in a vaccuum. It's incredibly important, and if you grasp the importance is can become interesting, but it's inherently boring. Finding a storybook that dwells upon economics but is still a storybook isn't a bad approach to get a kid into the subject.
Great idea! Thanks!
