Illustrated by
Kacey Schwartz.
When orphan June, a twelve-year-old coin-collecting heiress, loses her fortune, she and her pet pig must leave New York City for her aunt's South Dakota farm. June's exploration of her family's past and her search for a valuable penny may be intriguing, but the novel's self-conscious attempts at whimsy overshadow the moments of sincerity. Spot and full-page black-and-white drawings accompany the text.
