I would have enjoyed this book more as a child. I love the idea of this half magic coin. I didn't however like the author's voice/tone. I felt the author was talking down to the reader.

Not the greatest children’s story but a super fun premise.

I only read this book because my kids liked it and did a play this summer based on the plot. I had to read it after watching them doing it in the play. Pretty simple kids book that they will get a kick out of as they imagine how they would use a magic charm that gives you half of what you wish for. Oh, and the play my kids did was awesome.
