A review by bethanyruth
The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart

5.0

The Mysterious Benedict Society is a very fun novel about a group of gifted children who band together to save the world. Each of the children is special in a certain way (one is particularly stubborn). It is a mystery full of humor and wit that will make you beg for the author to write another novel like this. Carson Ellis’s illustrations are the icing on the cake, too - make sure you look at them.

I haven’t read Stewart’s other novel Flood Summer, but rest assured I am going to go find it just as soon as I can. I had such a great time reading The Mysterious Benedict Society, and think it has great lessons to teach people of all ages. Read this book as soon as possible.
