Princess Persephone wants her friends to come along on the summer vacation of her dreams, but they can't afford tickets. No problem! She can just tell Ganymede’s Money Wizards to print more bills. Though a wizard explains that doing so could lead to price hikes, Persephone insists. "Everyone gets money!" she declares regally, and her subjects rejoice as they find they have twice as many bills in their wallets as before.
Then her royal subjects go on a spending spree, creating a shortage of the tickets her friends need for their trip. What’s a princess to do? At first, she tries getting the Wizards to make even more money... but that just makes the problem worse. This rollicking entry in the Money Tales series — written by Sheila Blair, former Chair of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation — introduces the basics of what causes inflation in a way that will make kids eager to learn more about how money and finance works.
