Gwendy's Button Box

I was so excited to find out that Stephen King was collaborating with Richard Chizmar on a book so was quick to pick this one up. I was definitely not disappointed. Twelve year old Gwendy (I love the name) Peterson receives a gift from a mysterious stranger with a black hat. Gwendy is going to regret ever meeting that stranger and seeing that black hat. Some people have complained that the book is too short but it is a novella and is perfect for a sweet and fast read. I can see a potential for a sequel if the authors wanted to do one. What I love most about this book is the fact that it does not really have all of the graphic material that is in many Stephen King books. Don't get me wrong. I am a huge SK fan and love all of his books but I can see my kids starting their SK journey with this well written book. Highly recommended!
