When Gwendy Peterson was twelve, a mysterious stranger named Richard Farris gave her a mysterious box for safekeeping. It offered treats and vintage coins, but it was dangerous. Pushing any of its seven colored buttons promised death and destruction. Years later, the button box has entered Gwendy's life again. Now, evil forces seek to possess the button box and it is up to Senator Gwendy Peterson to keep it from all of them. At all costs. But where can you hide something from such powerful entities?
This is the third and final book in King's Gwendy series and it did not disappoint. You don't need to have read the first two in order to fall in love with Gwendy's unwavering determination, but she's such a likeable character that I recommend not missing them! Gwendy's final task turns out to be a much bigger task than she anticipated, and she's not ready to face it at all, but she'll do it anyway. Gwendy is the most incredibly unassuming hero the world has ever seen.
