"In one month Jeremy Fink will turn thirteen. But does he have what it takes to be a teenager? He collects mutant candy, he won't venture more than four blocks from his apartment if he can help it, and he definitely doesn't like surprises. On the other hand, his best friend, Lizzy, isn't afraid of anything, even if that might get her into trouble now and then.

"Jeremy's summer takes an unexpected turn when a mysterious wooden box arrives in the mail. According to the writing on the box, it holds the meaning of life! Jeremy is supposed to open it on his thirteenth birthday. The problem is, the keys are missing, and the box is made so that only the keys will open it without destroying what's inside. Will Jeremy and Lizzy be able to find the keys and open the box?

"Lively characters, surprising twists, and thought-provoking ideas make Wendy Mass's latest novel an unforgettable read." -- Synopsis from the back of the book

This book, along with a whole ton of others, is going to Hawaii to be part of a book and music festival being held there in May. I hope it, along with the others, bring many readers a lot of joy and entertainment.

This book traveled from Alabama (in a giant box of books) so it could be shared at our book festival in May - thank you very much!
