Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life is an unusual book in many ways, but it's a good one, and provides middle grade readers with an optimistic view of a world in which losses can be restored, old mistakes can be fixed, and there's a happily ever after out there at the end of the road. Both poignant and touching and sometimes hilarious (I mean, Jeremy is a bit... weird. His sweat smells like peanut butter...!), this is a good quiet read for a rainy day.
