Gwendy's Button Box
Richard Chizmar & Stephen King · 2 novels · 1 novella · 2017–2022
The Gwendy Trilogy, by Richard Chizmar and Stephen King, follows Gwendy Peterson across three linked but decades-spanning books: Gwendy's Button Box (2017), Gwendy's Magic Feather (2019) and Gwendy's Final Task (2022). It centers on a mysterious box given to Gwendy as a girl, whose buttons grant small wonders and terrible temptations, and follows the consequences of owning it into her adulthood and beyond. Each book jumps forward in Gwendy's life rather than continuing immediately from the last.
