The Mysterious Benedict Society – Trenton Lee Stewart

book_cover_mysterious_benedict_society

This is a childrens book, one filled with adventure and intrigue. It leads the reader on a curious journey about 4 children who are orphans of sorts and how together they create a family of their own. It shows how bravery and tenacity of spirit can chase away the fears that live inside oneself. I dont want to tell you the whole plot line, suffice to say it should be read in order to find out about it.

Exerpt on the back of the book:

“ARE YOU A GIFTED CHILD LOOKING FOR SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES?”

When this peculiar ad appears in the newspaper, dozens of children enroll to take a series of myseterious, mind-bending tests. (And you , dear reader, can test your wits right alongside them.) but in the end just four very special children will succeed. Their challenge: to go on a secret mission that only the most intelligent and resourceful children could complete. With their newfound friendship at stake, will they be able to pass the most important test of all?

So, if you are looking for a book for a child, do go ahead and try this one. (And they have a second book, if you fall in love with the characters in this one…)
