The Mysterious Benedict Society
By Trenton Lee Stewart

Mr. Benedict is a genius who is trying to stop a very serious crime ring. With no way to get into the Learning Institute for the Very Enlightened, he devises a plan to find the most intelligent children. Children come from all over to take Mr. Benedict's test. They are tested in obedience, following directions, honesty etc. Although hundreds of children take the test, there are only four children who can pass it. All of these children are either homeless, or orphans.

They will infiltrate the school on an island in the middle of the sea. They will communicate with Mr. Benedict, through a secret code. If they choose to take on this mission, their very lives may be in peril.

These children learn to depend on each other. They learn to be brave, while learning just how smart and needed they are.

Children and adults alike will be entranced by The Mysterious Benedict Society. I highly recommend this unusual tale of responsibility and never letting your friends down.
