In "The Chocolate Touch" by Patrick Skene Catling, young John Midas discovers a magical coin that grants him an extraordinary gift: everything he touches turns to chocolate. At first, this seems like a dream come true, as he enjoys the rich and sweet transformation of his surroundings. However, his joy quickly turns to despair when he realizes that his new ability makes it impossible to eat anything other than chocolate, including his favorite savory foods. John must navigate the challenges of his peculiar gift, learning valuable lessons about moderation, greed, and the importance of balance in life.
