"Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life" is a novel by Wendy Mass about 12-year-old Jeremy Fink who receives a locked box on his birthday with a note from his deceased father, challenging him to find the keys to unlock it in time for his 13th birthday. Along with his best friend Lizzy, Jeremy goes on a journey of self-discovery and learns important lessons about life, friendship, and family. Ultimately, he discovers that the true meaning of life lies in the connections we make with others and the experiences we share.
One month before his 13th birthday, Jeremy Fink receives a mysterious box in the mail. It is securely locked and has the engraving "The Meaning of Life. For Jeremy Fink to open on his 13th birthday" written across the top. Even stranger than the cryptic message and the security system is the fact that the box is from Jeremy's father, who was killed in a car accident five years earlier. Along with the box is a letter from a lawyer, explaining that before he died, Jeremy's father had instructed the lawyer to send the box to Jeremy for his 13th birthday, but unfortunately the keys to the box are missing and cannot be replaced.
Although Jeremy has never strayed far from his New York apartment on his own, his best friend and neighbor Lizzie is somewhat braver and more adventurous. So she convinces Jeremy to begin a search for the missing keys, which takes them through New York and New Jersey. Desperate to find the keys before Jeremy turns 13, they scour flea markets and visit the lawyer's abandoned office, all to no avail.
As events lead them to a summer job working for a retiring pawnbroker, delivering pawned items to their original owners, Jeremy and Lizzie find themselves meeting intriguing people who introduce them to fascinating things and new ideas about the world. Their one-month journey to open the box containing "the meaning of life" soon turns into a much bigger adventure with many life lessons learned along the way.

they both get caught in a private property office with fake names
The theme of this book is diligence. I think this because Jeremy and Lizzy showed a lot of persistent effort towards finding the keys to the box.
