Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life

Jeremy Fink doesn't leave anything to chance-he eats peanut butter at every meal, avoids the subway, and reminds his teachers to give him homework. Then, a month before he turns thirteen, he receives a surprise package. It's a wooden box to open on his birthday, and it's from his father, who died five years ago in a freak accident. One more thing: the box is locked, and the keys are missing.
