About this title

Synopsis

Princess Persephone means well when she orders the Money Wizards to conjure more cash for the people of Ganymede, but the result is the opposite of what she wants or expects.

Princess Persephone wants her friends to come along on the summer vacation of her dreams, but they can't afford tickets. No problem! She can just tell Ganymede’s Money Wizards to print more bills. Though a wizard explains that doing so could lead to price hikes, Persephone insists. Then her royal subjects go on a spending spree, creating a shortage of the tickets her friends need for their trip. What’s a princess to do?
