Reviewed by Arianna C

                     A mystery. One that has been waiting to be solved for thirteen years. All connected with a box, not empty, but enclosed in it is the secret. The keys that open the box are nowhere to be found. In that case, it’s up to Jeremy and Lizzy to find those keys. Open the box, and find out what the meaning of life is, according to Jeremy’s deceased father. Jeremy Fink is just your average boy, about to become a teenager, same as Lizzy Mouldon. Jeremy likes adventures and loves to read books. Lizzy on the other hand is having trouble becoming a teenager, with no mother, being a girl can be tough at times. These two friends try to solve the mystery of what is inside this mysterious box, and together, they will find the meaning of life.

                     I think this book had some good life lessons in it, not only how much you should be great full of your friends but also your family, even if some spaces are missing. It made me think of how many people don't have a complete, or ‘normal’ family. Not only is this book really adventurous and fun to read, but at times the amazing writing of Wendy Mass makes you want to start crying while READING A BOOK! Sad, adventurous, and incredibly magnificent, Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life, by Wendy Mass.
