About this product

Product Information

For fans of Lemony Snicket and Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library , this first book in the bestselling, award-winning Mysterious Benedict Society Series is not to be missed "Are you a gifted child looking for special opportunities?" Dozens of children respond to this peculiar ad in the newspaper and are then put through a series of mind-bending tests, which readers take along with them. Only four children--two boys and two girls--succeed. Their challenge: to go on a secret mission that only the most intelligent and inventive children could complete. To accomplish it they will have to go undercover at the Learning Institute for the Very Enlightened, where the only rule is that there are no rules. But what they'll find in the hidden underground tunnels of the school is more than your average school supplies. So, if you're gifted, creative, or happen to know Morse Code, they could probably use your help.

Reviews
"Great cast of characters, lots of cool puzzles and mysteries. This book reminded me of some of the better children's books I grew up with, like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The Phantom Tollbooth ."-- Rick Riordan, "Real flashlight under the bedclothes material... this story flies past, thrilling us as it goes."-- Horn Book, "Dashes of mild humor and introspection rest on a solid base of suspense, mystery, and well-rounded characters, making this a satisfying dish for readers of varying tastes."-- The Bulletin, starred review, "Tackles personal concerns: abandonment, family, loyalty, and facing one's fears."-- Booklist, starred review, "Fans of Roald Dahl or Blue Balliett will find a familiar blend of kid power, clues, and adventure."-- School Library Journal, starred review, "Begins with a bang... resembles the otherwordly experience of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory ."-- Publishers Weekly, starred review, "Begins with a bang... resembles the otherwordly experience of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory ."-- Publishers Weekly (starred review)

  • will not upset parent guidelines

    Great read for the G rating crowd- no poor language, no killing, no vampires, or flesh eating zombies. Just a simple adventure of orphans who save the world from a mind machine that transmits through the TV. Perfect chapter book for bedtime and is gender nuetral. Both boys and girls will find a character they like. A unique twist at the end even surprised this adult reader. And it has a series... A honorable gift to a young reader that will not upset any parents guidelines.

  • Birthday book gift for a gifted reader

    Benedict set is the kind of text meat to be devoured by a highly gifted 9 year old who gobbled up Potter and much more.

  • This is the funniest, most intelligent book I have read in many years!

    This is the absolute best book for any Christian to read aside from the writings of John Ronald Reuel Tolkien or C.S. Lewis. Such an encouraging story of suffering and triumph over the Devil.

  • Great selller

  • Read this entire series

    I loved this series as a kid and read every single one of them. It was about a group of clever, caring kids who made me feel smart too and kept me engaged in the plot.
