The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart
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 mysterious, mind-bending tests. (And you, dear listener, 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. To accomplish it they will have to go undercover at the Learning Institute for the Very Enlightened, where the only rule is that there are no rules.
As our heroes face physical and mental trials beyond their wildest imaginations, they have no choice but to turn to each other for support. But with their newfound friendship at stake, will they be able to pass the most important test of all?

Welcome to the Mysterious Benedict Society.
This is a quirky, fun book with lovable characters - Reynie, Kate, Sticky, and Constance (ahh, I love Constance - she's so small, grumpy and stubborn that it really is quite comical but, like all the others, she's also extremely clever as well, and you only realise just how much at the end!) - that I thoroughly enjoyed, and I hope you do too!
Yes! I LOVED The Mysterious Benedict Society! :) It was my favorite series when I was in fifth grade and read primarily middle grade novels! :) Great choice!
