Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life

by Wendy Mass

Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life is a good little YA book. It's about an almost 13-year-old boy whose father died five years earlier. One month before his birthday, he receives a package...a box his father had prepared for him engraved: "the meaning of life: for Jeremy Finch on his 13th birthday." The box requires four keys to be opened, but they have disappeared. So Jeremy and his best friend Lizzy begin a quest to find the keys and discover the meaning of life. Good characters, good plot--it's a good book.
