5/24/2023 0 Comments Fair Coin by E.C. Myers![]() ![]() ![]() Myers doesn’t take the story where you think it will go. Myers was going for the same theme with FAIR COIN ( Amazon), only with an older audience. It made for some hijinks and in the end the kids realized that wishes don’t necessarily make your life better. ![]() The problem is the coin only grants half of a wish. It’s a sweet, old-fashioned book about four children who find a magic coin. When my children were younger I read HALF MAGIC ( Amazon) to them. He really can’t imagine life worse than it is now.īut that all changes when a quarter shows up in his his locker with the note: “Make a wish and flip the coin to make it come true.” Only nothing goes as Ephraim plans. Unfortunately his dad left years ago and his mom is a drunk. There’s a pretty girl he likes who doesn’t know he exists. He’s got a goofy best friend, but not many other friends. Ephraim is your typical high school socially awkward guy. ![]()
