Bea Brightman is smart; smart enough to know that being popular matters. And after attending eight schools in as many years, she's got making friends down to a science. That is until her archaeologist father moves them to New York City in search of an elusive coin. There she meets Nisha Lakewood who may hold the key to finding it. The only problem is, Nisha wants nothing to do with her.

Nisha Lakewood is the class outcast rumored to have the power to make children fly. But at home, her fortunetelling Aunt Faye finds her disappointingly lacking in "talent". However, as Nisha approaches her thirteenth birthday, things begin to change. The magic she never believed she had is suddenly showing up when she least expects it and the nosy new girl, Bea Brightman, is on to her secret.

When Bea and Indy, a boy from the neighborhood, decide to pay Aunt Faye a visit, the three young teens find themselves caught up in a dangerous quest to find the missing Third Coin of Avalon. To do so they must solve an ancient prophecy, master magical objects and face a ruthless druid, all while dealing with the everyday horrors of middle school.

Based on the legends of King Arthur, The Third Coin, has been described as "fun, funny, and inventive...with plot twists that will surprise you." According to Kirkus Reviews, it is a "fantasy novel for young readers that blends classic Arthurian legends with a teen drama...the quest-driven plot will keep young fantasy fans engaged."
