The Mysterious Benedict
Society by Trenton Lee Stewart is the first book in
a children’s mystery, adventure series. It is about 4 kids (2 boys and 2 girls)
who answer a mysterious add in a newspaper and pass a set of bizarre tests.
This sets them on a secret mission that will take all of their giftedness and
creativity to make it out.
This book
got 4.5 out of 5 stars from me. I really liked this story. The characters were
all so interesting and funny and constantly taking me by surprise. They were
unique and well developed and relatable. I appreciated how the 4 kids were all
special in a different way and/ or a way we may not have thought of as special.
The side characters were memorable and diverse.
The plot
was so intriguing. I was constantly on the edge of my seat wondering what would
happen next and being taken by surprise. The twists and turns were so
entertaining and fun. I loved the riddles and mysteries and all the interesting
information included in the story. This was truly an enjoyable read and one
that adults as well as children would love.
I don’t
really even have more to say, except that it was a wonderful read and I am
eagerly looking forward to the next book in the series.
