The Mysterious Benedict Society written by Trenton Lee Stewart is about four children (George "Sticky" Washington, Kate Wetherall, Reynie Muldoon, and Constance Contraire) who become members of and elite group that they name The Mysterious Benedict Society. In order to become part of this group, the children must take a very challenging test. Along with that, they were told to follow very specific instructions such as bringing only one pencil. They also had to arrive precisely on time and if they are late, they would not be able to take the test. The children are sent on a mission to defeat the evil Mr. Curtain and save others from his invention called the Whisperer.
I think that this book is excellent and very suspenseful. Stewart makes this book so irresistible to put down that I could read this in one sitting. With it's thrilling appeal and suspenseful chapters, this book is certainly one of the best books I have ever read. If you are fans of Roald Dahl, you will surely love this book. I give this book 4 out of 4 stars. Be sure to look for the sequel The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey and the prequel The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Prisoner's Dilemma.

Alli this book sounds really interesting! If I can I will probably read this book as well. Also the name the group is really cool and love that the author would twist it up and give them silly instructions. Also I am wondering if there mission will be a success. Looking forward to your next post. Bye!

Nice post it's not a prequal though it the third book in the series.
ReplyDeleteI loved the Mysterious Benedict Society. Wasn't it such a great book? Also, the seguel is awesome. I'm going to read the 3rd book for my mystery book in Lit. Skills. Your totally right that this book so suspenseful and that its so hard to put it down. I can't wait to read the next book! By the way, awesome post!
ReplyDeleteGood Post Alli! I liked how you gave information about the other books as well. I love this book! It is one of my favorite books and it is so exciting to read. The sequel is just as good but I hate the third one. It starts off strong but gets really boring. I'm over half way through the book and the characters haven't even gone anywhere yet. Anyway, I didn't mean to ruin reading it for you. Keep enjoying the series and have fun reading it.
