289 pages - Just before his 13th birthday, Jeremy receives mail. When he opens the package it is a box which says, "The Meaning of Life. For Jeremy Fink. 13th Birthday." The box is secured by an intricate locking system which needs some keys. The keys to the box are not included. The box is from Jeremy's father, who is no longer alive. It was mailed by a lawyer hired to send it to Jeremy for his 13th birthday. Jeremy and his best friend and neighbor Lizzie have quite an adventurous summer. Lizzie is bold and daring, unlike Jeremy. He is lucky to have a friend to help and encourage him. Some times in life you have to take chances. They meet new and interesting people, learn many things along the way and in the end, yes, the meaning of life!
If you were to make a memory box, what would you put in it and who would you want to save it for?
