Just because no amount of praise on my part will do The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart justice, it doesn’t mean I cannot try to explain my undying love for this book. It’s smart, it’s funny, it’s unique, and it is certainly miraculous. It is the first book of an amazing four-book series (along with two bonus books: one prequel book about an important character’s history and another filled with riddles that will make your head spin!), and I can guarantee you will love this/these book(s).
In The Mysterious Benedict Society, four kids are brought together through a series of tests. They must work together to save the world from an evil mastermind. The plot and story are extremely original and filled with surprising twists and turns. I absolutely love everything about this book, and I’m sure you will not be sorry after reading it!
