Gwendy’s Button Box is a novella written by Stephen King and Richard Chizmar.  It is a coming-of-age story about a young girl who meets a stranger who gives her a strange box (beware of strangers bearing strange gifts).  Most of the story follows Gwendy’s teenage years in Castle Rock and her interactions with the effects of the Button Box.  The tale moves quickly and has a surprise ending.    It is an enjoyable book, but not memorable.    There are two more books that follow, but the first story was not engaging enough to pique further interest in additional stories about Gwendy and the Button Box.   Recommended as a short, easy read.   4.0 out of 5.0 stars4.0
