The book The Mysterious Benedict Society, by Trenton Lee Stewart, was an excellent book to read, especially if you like adventures. This book is about an orphan named Reynard Muldoon, Reynie for short, who is incredibly smart. One day his tutor, Ms. Perumal, sees an ad in the paper for gifted students to take a test, so she sends Reynie to take it. It is a very strange test, and only 4 people pass it, Reynie, a girl named Kate who is always prepared with tools in her bucket, a boy named George "Sticky" Washington who can remember everything, and a very tiny little girl named Constance; they are all orphans as well. They then get to meet the man who issued the test, named Mr. Benedict, and he sends them on a secret mission to help save the world from an evil man named Mr. Curtain, but if you want to know what happens you must read the story for yourself.
The plot of this story is very gripping and once you pick up the book, you can't put it down until you finish, and even then you want more. In fact the only thing that might not be as likable about the book was that it seems that it's not long enough. The characters in this book seem like little geniuses, but really they are just children who happen to be exceptionally bright. Many people can relate to this book because these children, before they went on their journey, only wanted to do get away from where they were and to do something extraordinary because there are many people that have always wanted to do that too. This book shows that you are never too young to be great or to do great things. I would rate this book a 10 out of 10 because it was beautifully written and it was a great story.
