The Tuttle Twins and the Food Truck Fiasco

Economics isn’t just theory — it’s something every one of us experiences every single day. When Ethan and Emily Tuttle discover that some laws are designed to help certain businesses while quietly hurting others, they realize that the playing field isn’t always as fair as it looks. And they decide to do something about it.

A fun, relatable introduction to regulation, crony capitalism, and economic fairness — told through the lens of a food truck fight the whole family will recognize.
