DESCRIPTION:
All of this wrapped around a mystery that is fast-paced and rife with tension, with a satisfying series of twists. "Against the gritty backdrop of an inner-city ghetto rises the unforgettable voice of eleven-year-old Copper 'Penny' Daniels, offering poignant and heartbreaking insights into the horrors and trials of homeless life on the streets, finding heaven where you least expect it, and help in those you never thought to ask." - A.G. Howard, New York Times Bestselling Author of the S
While Copper and her rag-tag group of friends find danger at every corner, two horrors are certain: her Mama’s really missing and someone’s after Copper, too. In the tradition of The Lovely Bones and Room, Pennies from Burger Heaven tells a dark story through the eyes of a child. With wit and wisdom, Copper Daniels will steal your heart, then break it in two.. She spends her nights sleeping beneath the cemetery’s Warrior Angel statue for protection, and her days battling the mean streets of Remington, Texas, hell-bent on discovering what happened the night her Mama disappeared. Eleven-year-old Copper Daniels is homeless and alone
Jan Sikes said Unforgettable Copper 'Penny' Daniels. Copper Daniels awakens like any normal morning beneath the cemetery’s Warrior Angel.

She can’t remember a time when they didn’t live on the streets, but without her mother, she is sure she can’t survive.She continually remembers what her mother taught her…never trust anyone. But, in the desperate search for Corinne Daniels, she finds that she has to have help. O’Dell who is the cemetery’s groundskeeper’s nephe. "Brand New World." according to Amazon Customer. This book is completely out of the norm of what I usually read (history, spy novels), so it was brand new territory for me. I think what was the most compelling part of the book for me was the way Marcy created a world in which she has no experience in. The language and the actions of the characters; including the things they wanted and were avoiding, were eye opening to me. Completely new world for me and it got me thinking of a homeless person's perspective. I certainly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who wants to view life from a different lens.. Amazon Customer said I loved the book. I loved the book! It usually takes me awhile to get engrossed in a book. I was hooked after chapter 1. The book is written from the eyes of an 11 year old, and that is exactly how it reads. Copper sees things and says things that really keep you in the story. It is a page turner. Again, I loved the book, and now I wait for the next book to come out to discover the next adventure for Copper. I also loved reading about the author at the end and how this story was "born" and developed by her experiences and places she had been in her own life. Job well done Marcy McKay!
