Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life

I had nothing to listen to on tape for my long daily commute, so, in desperation, I picked up Jeremy Fink from the children's audio section of the public library. I got hooked into the story quickly and realized soon that listening to the book on tape was too slow for me. Jeremy Fink was a book I could have pulled from our fall book fair, but I passed it by. I ended up getting a copy for the library just so I could read it.



Here's the plot: Jeremy's father died when Jeremy was a little boy. Just before Jeremy turns thirteen, he receives a box in the mail from his father, a book labeled “The Meaning of Life.” Unfortunately, there are no keys, so Jeremy and his best friend set off in search of the keys and the meaning of life.
