I´m always looking for books with great children characters, so this book did not disappointed me. The main characters, Reynie (witty, the leader), Sticky (intelligent, nervous), Kate (nimble, super-hero type) and Constance (crunky, little girl) were very likable children. None of them was perfect, ...
Four orphans (Renie, Constance, Sticky and Kate) are screened to become a group of spys to dismantle a plot to take over the world. Sent undercover to the Nomanisan Island, they must not only figure out what is happening, but also how to stop it. Loved this book. It was a little bit long in the be...
This book was so good. The characters, the queer tests, the mission they went out for, the things uncovered, and to top it off- The ending was wonderful.

And it didn’t disappoint in the least The Mysterious Benedict Society was a bit slow to start, but once it finally got going it q...
For a children book, this is pretty good. But the characters building and the plot is still a bit too pre-teen. So, most teens would find this story a bit too straight forward and the characters a bit lack of depth.
Too bad this wasn't published a couple decades earlier - I would really have liked it when I or nine or so. I would have identified (probably wrongly) with those too-smart kids, sympathized over the blindness of adults, thrilled to the dangers, and learned something from the puzzles. Now, alas, whet...
