Description
Join Reynie Muldoon and three other genius children as they pass a series of tests to go undercover on a secret mission to possibly save the world. One thing that Reynie learns pretty quickly is that there is nobody he can trust, except for his loving tutor back at the orphanage. Not only are the children put through tests mentally, but also emotionally and physically. They must learn to help each other while undercover if they want to succeed. Is there anything this brilliant band of children can’t do? The mysterious school they must reside at seems to be built on a foundation of lies, but will people believe the children? The back of the book includes a brief excerpt from the next book in the series, along with a fun quiz for readers to determine if they are “Mysterious Benedict Society material.” 485 pgs, pb. ~ Brianna
Publisher's Description of Mysterious Benedict Society
For fans of Lemony Snicket and Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library, this first book in the bestselling, award-winning Mysterious Benedict Society Series is not to be missed!
"Are you a gifted child looking for special opportunities?" Dozens of children respond to this peculiar ad in the newspaper and are then put through a series of mind-bending tests, which readers take along with them. Only four children--two boys and two girls--succeed. Their challenge: to go on a secret mission that only the most intelligent and inventive children could complete. To accomplish it they will have to go undercover at the Learning Institute for the Very Enlightened, where the only rule is that there are no rules. But what they'll find in the hidden underground tunnels of the school is more than your average school supplies. So, if you're gifted, creative, or happen to know Morse Code, they could probably use your help.
