The Mysterious Benedict Society byTrenton Lee Stewart and Carson Ellis


The Mysterious Benedict Society

Trenton Lee Stewart
Grades Late 4th - 7th
Interesting tale of 4 adventurous "gifted" children, who are asked to help stop an evil man. The characters are unique and appealing, the names given to the characters are fun...but most kids will not catch the jokes. Slow start, but worth reading. I had a hard time putting it down at the end. It will appeal to kids that enjoy sloving riddles.
