Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life

So I finished the book Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life by Wendy Mass last night. I really enjoyed it, more than I thought I would!
Here is a little summary...

What is the meaning of life? Jeremy Fink had never really thought about it. He spent his days collecting candy, contemplating how to time travel, and hanging out with his feisty best friend, Lizzy. However, one day he receives a gift from his father. It is an intricate wooden box with four key holes, each requiring a different key. Engraved on the top are the words, THE MEANING OF LIFE FOR JEREMY FINK TO OPEN ON HIS 13TH BIRTHDAY. But there area a couple of problems. First, the four keys have been lost. Second, Jeremy’s father died when he was 8 years old. Third, Jeremy’s 13th birthday is only a week away. Jeremy and Lizzy set off on a mission to find a way to open the box, ending up in some interesting situations that involve breaking the law, riding in a limo, and meeting some interesting strangers…but will they ever find the keys? This is a great one with an unexpected ending and some really fun characters.

I love the character of Lizzy...she's a fun one!

Happy reading!
