In Arcade and the Triple T Token, eleven-year-old Arcade Livingston has a problem. Several, actually. The Tolley twins, a.k.a. neighborhood bullies, are making Arcade’s move to a new city even harder than it needs to be. They expect him to do their research papers and interactive displays for the sixth-grade career expo’s theme: “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Besides doing their work, Arcade doesn’t even know his own answer to that question.

ABOUT THE COIN SLOT CHRONICLES SERIES

Arcade and his sister, Zoe, are on a hunt for answers to life’s tough questions, starting with a mysterious “Triple T Token” that was given to Arcade by an old woman at the library. “Happy travels,” was all she said before she vanished.

The token has a mind of its own: heating up, pulsating light, and causing a golden coin slot to appear. When Arcade inserts the token into the slot, doors of opportunity open. And when he steps through them, thrilling, amusing, and sometimes scary adventures await. Arcade believes that the token was meant for him to learn about life so he can help others along the way. Right now, he has a lot to learn.
