Summary

In the bustling barter town of Crossroads, twelve-year-old Ezra dreams of opening his very own trading post. Armed with leather bracelets, honey jars, and a canvas-covered ledger, he learns the art of exchange: trading bracelets for eggs, honey for pails, and berries for tokens. When a mishap ruins his honey shipment, Ezra pivots—offering helpful services and planting berry bushes to diversify his bartering goods. Through every trade, setback, and creative solution, Ezra discovers how to turn informal swaps into formal savings. “Barter to Bank” teaches young readers about value, negotiation, record-keeping, adaptability, and the journey from barter to banked savings.
