i thought this book would be dumb a year ago. sister bought it, we just had it. but then i read it. mostly because i had already read most everything in the house. including shampoo bottles. twice. so i read this. and let me tell you, it is wayyy better than i expected.
so jeremy and lizzy (i know, it's me!) are besties, and very troublesome. but funny. and he gets this box from his dead father. but he can't open it because he doesn't have the four keys. uh oh! so they go on adventures to find them. they meet lots of interesting characters. learn things. hula hoop.
the plot does seem to meander a bit, just in the middle, when they are temporarily sustained from the key search. then at the end, all at once, they find them. nice ending. it was a bit sad. i didn't cry though.
here's my clip...
" 'Um, you might want to turn that 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.
i'd recognize my dad's handiwork anywhere."
okay... well... read it i guess. i won't force ya to though, but it is good.
