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.

    Every December, The Nutcracker comes to life in theaters all across the United States. But how did this 19th-century Russian ballet become such a big part of the holidays in 21st-century America? 

Meet Willam, Harold, and Lew Christensen, three small-town Utah boys who caught the ballet bug from an uncle in the early 1900s. They performed alongside elephants and clowns on vaudeville, immersed themselves in the New York City dance scene, and even put on a ballet featuring gangsters at a gas station. Russian immigrants shared the story of The Nutcracker with them, and during World War II—on a shoestring budget and in need of a hit—they staged their own Christmastime production in San Francisco. It was America's first full-length version and the beginning of a delightful holiday tradition.

Follow along and learn how The Nutcracker came to be performed all across the United States from these truly humble beginnings.
