Gwendy's Final Task (3) (Gwendy's Button Box Trilogy)
The final book in the New York Times bestselling Gwendy’s Button Box trilogy from Stephen King and Richard Chizmar.
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 eight colored buttons promised death and destruction. Years later, the button box reentered Gwendy’s life. A successful novelist and a rising political star, she was once again forced to deal with the temptation the box represented. Now, malignant forces seek to possess the button box, and it is up to Senator Gwendy Peterson to keep it from them at all costs. But where can one hide something from such powerful entities?
In Gwendy’s Final Task, master storytellers Stephen King and Richard Chizmar take us on a journey from Castle Rock to another famous cursed Maine city to the MF-1 space station, where Gwendy must execute a secret mission to save the world. And, maybe, all worlds.

Took a little bit longer than the other Gwendy books to get into, but once I got into it, I couldn't stop!
I got really attached to this series. There was a lot of back & forth between the present & the past. It is confusing at first. However, if you've read enough Stephen King it's not a new thing for a book of his to be written this way.
I loved the cross overs (or easter eggs as some call them). I really think that they could be built upon in future books. One cross over has me wondering if Christine got a paint job, the Buick can change shape, or they had a kid together. Don't think I am crazy - weirder shit has happened in a Stephen King book.
This series lead me to realizing I NEED to re-read The Dark Tower series. I remember most the other books, but I may re-read those too. One I have no need to re-read is It. That book still has me checking the drains.
