Jeremy Fink's idea of a perfect summer is learning a few magic tricks, borrowing 8th grade textbooks to get a jump start on next year, an sleeping in as late as he wants. However, he soon finds out that his summer will be different.
One day, a mysterious package shows up at his house. The package contains a wooden box engraved:
JEREMY FINK
THE MEANING OF LIFE
The package also contains a letter from someone talking about how they are so sorry they lost the keys to the box.
See, the box isn't your ordinary box, with a keyhole. This box has four keyholes (for four different keys). If you try to saw the box open, it destroys the contents inside.
Jeremy will turn thirteen in a month, and it says to open the box then, on his thirteenth birthday. He has until then to find all the keys and open it on his thirteenth birthday.
This is a very interesting book. This author uses great comedy in her writing. I'm giving this book 8 out of 10 stars:)
Next books:
Wings by Aprilynne Pike
The Giver by Lois Lowry
PS: I'm still up for suggestions:)
