The Hundred Penny Box by Sharon Bell Mathis

1986 Newbery Honor

The story starts when the mom was going to burn the hundred penny box in the furnace but the little boy wouldn't let her. The aunt learns that the mom is trying to burn her penny box. Then she started crying because the mom started to force her to go to sleep. The boy hid the box and then the mom tried to find it but couldn't.

I thought it was ok but it needs a better ending.

2 stars - It was ok.
