The Mysterious Benedict Society


The Mysterious Benedict Society
Trenton Lee Stewart
*****

The Mysterious Benedict society is a book of great action and spying. In this fabulous book four children are recruited to help save the world against an evil mastermind.

Reynie, a great puzzle solver and logic thinker, Sticky, a boy of great intelligence and can remember everything he sees, Kate, a natural spy in ways of sneaking and climbing with her own supply of gadgets, and Constance, an annoying three-year-old are all recruited by a mysterious Mr. Benedict. Mr. Benedict and his company, Rhonda, Milligan and Number Two, are intent on stopping an evil mastermind who is nun other than Mr. Benedict's twin, Mr. Curtain.

So Reynie, Sticky, Kate and Constance are sent as students to the Learning Institute of the Very Enlightened (LIVE) to uncover a plot of brain-washing and thought broadcasting, traps and codes, and winning and losing. These children agree that they must have a name and agree on the Mysterious Benedict Society...

This really looks like a good one with a somewhat common theme. Four unite with specific skills to save the world from bad guys. Matthew, what was your favorite part? With a ***** rating, I'm sure your best part would be very, very good.
