Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life by Wendy Mass. 304 p. Little Brown Young Readers/ Hachette, 2006. (Own)
Happy Thursday TMS Readers! I can't believe it's April already!#TBT features Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life by Wendy Mass. Jeremy Fink lives in NYC, has a best friend named Lizzy whose impulsiveness often gets the two in trouble and he's turning thirteen in a month. When a package arrives addressed to his mother, Lizzie convinces him to open it, revealing a beautiful locked box and a note from his dad addressed to Jeremy saying the box contained answers to the meaning of life. The problem? There are no keys in the package to open the box and his dad died five years earlier in a car crash.
This story of friendship and existential angst features a vivid NYC setting and endearing, quirky characters. It was published in 2006 and adapted for film in 2011. Wendy Mass is a popular author with my students and this book is well-loved.
