A review by that_library_girl
The Mysterious Benedict Society, by Trenton Lee Stewart
5.0
I loved this book, it's definitely one of my all-time favourites. The riddles were so clever, and it was fun trying to solve them alongside the characters. I few of them were a bit predictable from a reader's view although I can see how it would be harder to guess in real life.
My favourite character here was George "Sticky" Washington, I often felt bad for him because he was getting poked fun at by a lot of other kids for his physical appearance and due to his sort of 'know-it-all' attitude. I don't think he was trying to show off on purpose though, it's probably hard for him to hold so much information in his brain and not vent about it.
All in all, this book was amazing, and I would recommend to literally everyone.
