Arcade and the Triple T Token: The Coin Slot Chronicles, Book 1

Arcade Livingston and his family have moved from Washington, D.C. to Manhattan for his parents' new job. He spends much of his time in the public library as he tries to integrate into 6th grade at a new school. One day, a woman gives him a special token. This token will sometimes glow, bringing him and his companions to another dimension. 

In school, the class is working on a "future career" project. He is lucky to be on a team with people he gets along with. However, two of the class bullies want him to do their projects for them. With his friends, the token often lights up, leading them to have "experiences" in their future careers. Arcade eventually realizes that he likes helping others as a guidance counselor. Rather than do the bullies' projects, he helps inspire them to use their own talents and passion. A bible verse gets mentioned at the end.
