What would be a good book for a middle school aged boy or girl to dive into economics?

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

I actually have some thick Clancy books that I haven’t gotten around to reading. Red October and Sum of All Fears being two I want to read first

Red October is fantastic. My first Clancy book and I was hooked from the first few pages, it was so much fun trying to piece together this conspiracy and how the pieces will move before it all happens. A sufficient level of technical explanation for the nerds like me as well.

I heard that. In the book it’s Muslim terrorists and not Russian right? Was Clancy in the military or did he just have very good contacts for Military info?

He was very good at military fiction so I always assumed either he served or came from a military family
