The Mysterious Benedict Society

The Mysterious Benedict Society, by Trenton Lee Stewart, is a book about four young gifted children. They all read a newspaper advertisement that says "Are you a gifted child looking for special opportunities?" They all take the test and are asked to infiltrate a school for gifted children stop an evil genius, and save the world! All through the book they face a series of challenges that challenge their intellect and friendship.

I really enjoyed The Mysterious Benedict Society. As a gifted student, I really connected to the characters and their challenges in the book. The author's mix of humor and adventure was very enjoyable as well, and the way that the different characters personalities meshed added a great feel to the book. Each of the different characters has their own strengths and weaknesses, and all of the characters support each other, and their streangths complement each other perfectly.
