Gwendy's entire life will change when a mysterious stranger gifts her the button box in this novella written for teens.
This is a wonderfully written story about a teenager who is given the chance to find out what kind of person she really is when given immense power. It could spark great conversations with other readers, including teenagers, about decisions and responsibility. I recommend this book for the intrigue and ending alone.
That being said I didn't love the way Gwendy thought about herself and her body. I had no problem with it in the beginning, because we all have self esteem issues. I just thought the improved self esteem as a direct relation to her appearance was far fetched. More often than not we get the body we "wanted" only to realize that wasn't the problem. Anyway, that's just my opinion. Still a great book.
Four smiles.
