The Mysterious Benedict Society Review

 

 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.
