The Hundred Penny Box by Sharon Bell Mathis

1986 Newbery Honor

A family's aunt is 100 years old and she has 100 pennies for every year she has lived. She keeps it in a very special box that she loves but the kid's mom hates the box and wants to burn it in the furnace. The kids try to save the box but in the end, the book cuts off so you don't know what happens to the box.

I thought it was great but I didn't like how the book cut off.

4 stars - It was a great book and I recommend it to others.
