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

Ugh. I still remember having to slog through 'Flowers for Algernon' as a kid.

I could read through Jurrassic Park in a day or two, but that book took me weeks. I fucking hated that book. Still do.

Maybe schools should try and push reading for pleasure than trying to cram some sort of philosophical sob story down my throat.

I didn’t care for Flowers for Algernon as a kid but like it more looking back at it.
