Hi everyone! Did you enjoy the City of Ember? Well if you did you’ll enjoy this book! This next book club is the book Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life by Wendy Mass.
Jeremy Fink is about a 12-year old boy named Jeremy. He loves peanut butter so much he even sweats it!!! He finds a box that needs four keys. It holds the meaning of life, and was from his father who died when Jeremy was 8. He’s supposed to open it on his 13th birthday, but he doesn’t know where the keys are. Lizzy is Jeremy’s best friend and just like Jeremy’s dad, her mom is dead. Jeremy and Lizzy have to go and explore the city to try to find the keys before his birthday.
Once you get the book, ask yourself this question: What do you think the meaning of life is to Jeremy’s father?
Read chapters 1-5 (pg. 1-74). Then, go to Part 2.
Well, this was a very good book. I really enjoyed the middle part of the book becase it really talked about the meaning of life. I really learned about the meaning of life and the scientific meaning. I really liked all the journeys Lizzy and Jeremy went through because they invovled Lizzy, mostly. Lizzy is my favorite character. I also really liked the ending, when Jeremy relized it was all set up for them. It was also very sad when Mr.Oswald still ended up having to move to Florida. Also, I can’t believe that he wouldn’t go more than four bloks from his house! I would go more than four blocks than my house if i could. I really liked this book. It teaches a great lesson for 5th and 6th graders. I hope others read this book ,too. It was fun to read.

I thought this was one of the best books I’ve ever read because of the authors descriptive writing. Jeremy goes on this amazing adventure and it ends just all set up for him and how everything was just put into place was just very creative. I really enjoyed this book and I hope you will to.
