Now June has to live on a farm with grouchy Aunt Bridget, who sees her best friend as potential bacon! Things look up when one day, June finds a mysterious Penny Book that her mother used to keep. She is instantly intrigued by what her mother called the Big One, the rarest and most valuable of all pennies. Finding it could be June's ticket back to New York and her old life.
