The Mysterious Benedict Society

The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart is about kids who take really hard tests and only four kids end up passing all of them. The four kids meet the creator of the tests, Mr. Benedict, and he sends them on a mission that nobody else can do because they're the only people smart enough.

I have to say my favorite character is Kate, Kate is one of the four kids who passed the tests. I like her because she is likes doing what has to be done, I say that because she carries a bucket that has a rope , a sling shot, marbles a pocket knife, etc. That's usually stuff that helps get most things done. She also is really creative, for example, a question on one of the harder tests was that they had to go from yellow square to yellow square without their feet touching the ground. The yellow squares were about 10 feet away from each other. So she walked from yellow square to yellow square no her hands. She is also very brave, because she had to swim in a really dirty lake so she wouldn't get caught. The lake had lots of sharp jagged rocks that looked like a sharks dorsal fin, even though she got scared out of her wits she still stayed calm. I would definitely consider that brave.

When I picked out this book I read the back and I'm almost done with The Mysterious Benedict Society but I think the back cover might a little bit better than the actual book itself.

I enjoyed and if you take my advice and read The Mysterious Benedict Society I hope you enjoy it.
