Fiery Metal Tester by author Rashad Jennings.

Well! I'm three books into The Coin Slot Chronicles middle grade ChristFic fantasy series. I wasn't sure what to expect with this one, but when it comes to the Triple T Token, you pretty much just have to hang on and go with it.

Here Arcade and the gang have laughter, some tears, some high-flying action (I mean, incredibly high at times), and as always, lessons to be learned along the way.

Oh—and books to be read, of course. Arcade is a library nerd.

Admittedly, as with the first two novels in this series, there were places in this one where the story didn't hold my interest that well. But I'm attached to the characters now, and the little pieces to the plot do come together while leaving room for more later. Plus some stuff with the time travel in this one is even crazier than usual, in a clever way.

I'm looking forward to the release of Book Four.
