Two sides. One balance. Mingo is a boy split right down the middle - night on one side, morning on the other. In Greenwood Park, where money grows on trees and every acorn counts, that split is a gift: the power to see both sides of anything and bring them into balance. Across three enchanted adventures, he and his friends turn a pile of plums into a working economy, ride a golden boom into a hollow winter, and walk a long white road to the grey moor of Dunmoor - where two communities must learn to trust, to trade, and to thaw. It's warm and funny and big-hearted. It's also, quietly, the clearest introduction to money a child will ever read - saving, budgeting, prices, inflation, markets, central banking, and fair trade - never once delivered as a lesson. Three books. Eleven songs. One unforgettable little economist. Ages 6 and up.
