AUTHOR: Wendy Mass
Today’s the first day of September, and you know what that means–time for a new book! This month we’ll read Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life. It’s another book with a bit of a mystery to it. (Like we said last week, we like mysteries!)
A month before his 13th birthday, Jeremy receives a box from his father, who died when Jeremy was 8. The label on the box says that the box contains the meaning of life! There’s only one problem… the keys to the box are missing. Jeremy and his friend Lizzy need to search for the keys.
We’ll be reading the first 5 chapters this week. We’ll talk about those chapters next Wednesday!

BOOK NAME: The London Eye Mystery
AUTHOR: Siobhan Dowd
Welcome to August’s last book club meeting!
jindo2108, we agree with you! It would be disappointing to get this far and not have Kat and Ted solve the mystery. 2whitie, it’s true that a lot of mysteries have leads earlier in the story. Can anyone think why the author might wait so long to give readers a lead to follow?
We’ll be talking about the end of the book today. Click “See More” to jump into the discussion.
