In Volume 3 of the Coin Slot Chronicles, 11-year-old Arcade Livingston and older sister Zoe must harness their patience and compassion. Retired NFL running back Jennings, writing with veteran children's writer Osborne, developed the Arcade Livingston series after finding success with his book for adults, The If in Life (written with Michael Strahan, 2018). As the book opens, the Livingston parents set goals with their children: to step into the positive character traits of patience and compassion, in accordance with their Christian faith (references to which are lightly sprinkled throughout the text). These goals inform the adventures that follow. The novels can stand alone but are deepened when read together, so maybe that's the best way for readers to understand the full story behind this mysterious Triple T Token and its time-traveling powers. Readers learn that it can take Arcade and Zoe to times and places they've never been with strange people surrounding them, yet this story isn't always about what's happening way out there. There's the serious inside things too. There's Arcade's best friend, Doug, who is being moved to Florida when he wants nothing more than to be close to his ailing grandmother. Is there something that this mysterious Triple T Token can do about that? Does trying to control the power of the token only create further chaos? Dotted with significant life lessons for young readers, who might prefer to start with Volume 1. (Fantasy. 8-12)

Gr 4-6-Arcade and his sister Zoe are back in this third entry in the "Coin Slot Chronicles." This time, Arcade receives a mysterious message telling him, "Things will heat up in all areas to test your mettle." No kidding! It's a record hot New York City summer, and his parents want the siblings to set some character-building goals during their school vacation. Once Arcade's backpack gets stolen in the subway, the adventures come fast and furious. Zipping all over the world once his token is slipped into the slot in glowing elevator doors, Arcade struggles to make sense of his role in many situations. Life is further complicated by the impending move of his best friend Doug (a baby flamingo with a serious shrimp habit), a test score scandal at school, and his dog getting lost in the internet in the future-or is it the past? The parent-child relationships are warm and supportive and (save a few minor squabbles) so is the sibling one. Arcade tries hard to do what is best in every situation while remembering his goal-setting promise. The family's faith is a consistent thread throughout. VERDICT An intriguing premise that gets overcomplicated with too many plot threads makes this a well-meaning, but confusing read. Recommended only where the previous books have enjoyed a healthy circulation.-Sara-Jo Lupo Sites, George F. Johnson Memorial Library, Endicott, NY
