The Hundred Penny Box by Sharon Bell Mathis

1986 Newbery Honor

The mom wanted to go to a furnace to burn the box then get a new one. Michael needed to hide the box so it wouldn't be taken away. She was 100 years old and had 1 penny for each year in her life. In the end, the story never tells you about what happened with the box.

I think it needs a better ending but otherwise it was 4 stars.

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