It's designed more for kids, but I found it useful for understanding basic accounting concepts: The Accounting Game: Basic Accounting From the Lemonade Stand.
I also found two of the novels in Clavell's Asian Saga to be quite business-focused: Tai-Pan and Noble House. Not so much for the nuts-and-bolts of business, but just a large business organization being founded and growing over the course of multiple centuries.
Another one by the same author, which I heartily recommend, is "The Ideal Team Player".
Read it many years ago, and I still use it as a basic framework when I interview candidates (in a nutshell, you want someone humble, hungry, and smart).
I personally wouldn't recommend "Death by Meeting", though.
Maybe it's just because it didn't resonate much with me, so YMMV.

I'm a big fan of The Deadline: A Novel About Project Management by Tom DeMarco.

Get a Grip by Gino Wickman introduces EOS through a narrative story.
The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni is another classic.
