Preview: Hear it

In one month Jeremy Fink will turn thirteen. But does he have what it takes to be a teenager? He collects mutant candy, he wont venture more than four blocks from his apartment if he can help it, and he definitely doesnt like surprises. On the other hand, his best friend, Lizzy, isnt afraid of anything, even if that might get her into trouble now and then. Jeremys 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 whats inside. Jeremy and Lizzy set off to find the keys, but when one of their efforts goes very wrong, Jeremy starts to lose hope that hell ever be able to open the box. But he soon discovers that when youre meeting people named Oswald Oswald and using a private limo to deliver unusual objects to strangers all over the city, there might be other ways of finding out the meaning of life. Lively characters, surprising twists, and thoughtprovoking ideas make Wendy Masss latest novel an unforgettable read.
