There's enough action and drama to keep a young reader turning pages. It's well put together and set in an interesting and believable fantasy world that feels real but is easy to comprehend. Medallion is a fun adventure story that also works-as is apparent to us now-as an accessible introduction to fantasy for students. We had just finished The Silver Chair and wanted to read another fantasy, one we both remembered fondly but hadn't touched in over two decades. Fast forward another twelve years and my wife-who had a copy in storage-and I decided to revisit this as our bedtime reading. My teacher even had the author, Dawn Watkins, visit class once, and years later I took Poetry Writing from her as one of my minor electives. I first read this in fourth grade, like a lot of kids raised in private schools that used BJU Press curriculum.
