This was a one sit read and I really enjoyed it. It's the sort of thing that only Stephen King could come up with but it was just a little bit more like a pulpy mystery than usual - I assume that's his cowriter's influence. I liked it anyway. Gwendy is singled out by a strange man, at age 12, to be the keeper of a button box. The button box seems to bring a whole lot of good to her life but with that comes a responsibility that she doesn't truly understand, I don't think ever really does. She's an ordinary girl given an extraordinary and vague task but she does only what is in her own nature - and that's all that can be said for any of us. As much as it was unsettling I still find myself smiling after the experience. Fantastic, quick, read.
