One penny.In the hot, mean summer of 1933, a penny is enough to buy caramels or red hots or peppermint sticks or licorice strings. Is it enough to buy Miss Elsie’s Strawberry Farm?There’s only one way to find out. Davey takes a deep breath and shouts, “One penny for Strawberry Farm!”Set during the Great Depression, and illustrated by Caldecott Honor artist Rachel Isadora, Saving Strawberry Farm brings Davey’s Midwestern town to life as friends and neighbors plan to save the farm the only way they can – with a secret penny auction!
