June Sparrow and the Million-Dollar Penny Audiobook Summary
A charming, classic middle grade debut perfect for fans of Three Times Lucky and Because of Winn-Dixie with the most lovable pig since Wilbur in Charlotte’s Web.
June Sparrow and her best friend–a miniature pig named Indigo Bunting–have always been just fine on their own. June is a wealthy orphan who’s lived in New York City her whole life. But on June’s twelfth birthday, she suddenly loses her fortune and is forced to move in with an aunt she’s never even met, in the tiny town of Red Bank, South Dakota, a place so small that it doesn’t even have a traffic light.
Now June has to live on a farm with grouchy Aunt Bridget, who sees her best friend as potential bacon! Then 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. But the only guide June and Indigo have is a cryptic list her mom left behind.
To decode the list and find the Big One, June and Indigo enlist the help of some new friends in Red Bank and turn the town upside down in their search. But the most surprising mystery of all may be what brought June to Red Bank in the first place–and what is most valuable to her in the end.

This reads like a classic! I instantly fell in love with June Sparrow and sweet Indigo. This had that perfect mix of outlandish lifestyles for both kids and pigs, and good ol' country heart. It felt like a reverse take on "Annie," and I highly recommend it!

Good middle grade tale about a girl and her pet miniature pig forced to leave her life of comfort in New York City due to financial reversal and return to her mother's rural hometown. Her mother is deceased and June Sparrow has lived in relative isolation for most of her life. Her sudden appearance in this small South Dakota town causes dislocation and confusion to everyone, including her aunt, her mother's former neighbors as well as June herself. But June is in search of something she believes her mother has left her that will solve all of her problems. If only she can find it before something weird happens, such as making friends or finding home in a strange place. I received my copy from the publisher through edelweiss.
