JERRY FINK AND THE MEANING OF LIFE By Wendy Mass

Did you ever think about what the meaning of life was? Well Jeremy Fink and his best friend Lizzy definitely were interested. The story is very complicated but I will briefly tell you about it. Jeremy and Lizzy have been best friends since they could remember. One day when they were coming back to their apartment, they found the mailman with a package for them. When they got the package they were interested of what was inside so they just had to open it. When they did, there was a wooden box that was beautifully made. On the box in carved letters was written, FOR JEREMY FINK TO OPEN ON HIS 13TH BIRTHDAY, CONTAINS THE MEANING OF LIFE. When his mom got home, he asked her where the box came from and she was very surprised to see that the box was there in the first place. When she explained, Lizzy and Jeremy asked why his dad who had died years ago would make such a box for him and where the keys are to open the box. The problem was that his dad's good friend the one who had the box all these years had lost the keys. Read this great book to see if Jeremy finds out what his dad had put in this box to explain what the meaning of life is, and why he did it in the first place.
