The book I am reading for my Independent reading project is called Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life by Wendy Mass. The main character is a thirteen year old boy named Jeremy Fink who lives in an apartment building with his mother and best friend Lizzy in New York City. Coming home from Fink's Comics and Magic store, they convince the postman to hand over a package addressed to Jeremy's mother. The package is "accidentally" opened and the two friends discover under a pile of newspapers is a box handcraved by Jeremy's father. This is the inscription on bottom of the box:
"Um, you might want to turn it over," Lizzy says. I just keep shaking the box back and forth, mesmerized. She finally grabs it from my hands, flips it over, and hands it back. Staring up at me are the engraved words THE MEANING OF LIFE; FOR JEREMY FINK TO OPEN ON HIS 13th BIRTHDAY. (pg.13)
