Summary

Fourteen-year-old Kai steps into the legendary Trade Winds Bazaar with fourteen silver tokens and a head full of dreams. As he wanders wind-blown stalls offering compasses, chimes, sweets, and scrolls, Kai grapples with opportunity cost—every token spent means another treasure forgone. Between haggling lessons, mystery auctions, and generous acts, he discovers the power of weighing benefits, balancing priorities, and making choices aligned with long-term goals. Set against a vibrant seaside marketplace, Opportunity Cost Odyssey transforms economic concepts into a fun, adventurous tale that equips young readers with decision-making frameworks they’ll carry beyond the bazaar’s bustling stalls.

    Why does God work in mysterious ways? One of the greatest saints ever to live, Catherine of Siena is mostly known for inspiring the pope to return to Rome from France, but her story begins as a young woman who thinks she is called to be a hermit! How did God turn this aspiring hermitess into someone who was called to argue with the pope himself and his whole entire court? See how little Catherine learns to love God and achieve great sanctity through loving the people she cares for along the way. 
    Mary Fabyan Windeatt was known as “the storyteller of the saints.” In the 1950’s and 60’s, she wrote over twenty historical fiction novels on the saints, bringing to life these holy men and women for young readers across the world. By artistically rendering familiar stories, the Windeatt books help readers see that the saints are real people whom we can emulate. 
    Ideal for all children, especially those enrolled in TAN Academy in the fourth through sixth grades for easy-reading literature.
