I am currently reading "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close," by Jonathan Safran Foer. It's about a boy named Oskar who now lives alone with his mother, after his father expectantly died in the attack of 9/11. His grandmother and him were, and still are really close. In the book other peoples story (of the family) are put in between different chapters. Him and his father always set up games together, where you had to look and find clues. Some were harder, some easier. Oskar found something that could have been a clue almost a year after his father's death, and all of a sudden he started to see more clues in his fathers belongings.
The key he found meant so much to him because he didn't know it existed. Also because it was months after 9/11, so it felt more powerful to him. Oskar went all over NYC to collect clues because he felt he had to. In another one if these clue games, it took so long for Oskar to get clues and he pointed out that the more her looked, the more confused he was, and the less he knew.
All in all, I think Oskar is going to spend the rest of the book trying to solve his dads last puzzle, if it even is one. Or maybe just a secret, he was keeping from everyone.
