Like the last review this is a little late. The Mysterious Benedict Society is about 4 remarkably gifted children, something that brings them together is the fact they each have no family. Sticky ran away from home under enormous amounts of pressure. Reynie is an orphan. Kate’s mother died and her father disappeared when she was 2. None of the 3 knew what was wrong with Constance but something told them she never knew a family either. The 4 children meet by taking a test that was advertised in the newspaper. They all pass the test hidden within the test and meet Mr. Benedict and name themselves the Mysterious benedict Society. My favorite part of the book is when the Mysterious Benedict Society is sent to the Institute and they thought Mr. Benedict was the evil headmaster, Mr. Curtain. It turns out that Mr. Benedict and Mr. Curtain were twin brothers separated at birth because like the children Mr. Benedict did not have a family.
I didn’t think this book would be very good. Something just told me it would be boring and you had to have known a lot to understand it or something. I only read it because I can’t stand to see unread books on the shelf but when I started reading I went WOW!! I thought to myself, “Now I’m certain you can’t judge a book by its cover.” You can already tell I loved this book but just for the record, this book rates 5 stars with me.
