"Are you a gifted child looking for special opportunities?"

When this peculiar ad appears in the newspaper, dozens of children enroll to take a series of mysterious, mind-bending tests. (And you, dear reader, can test your wits right alongside them.) But in the end just four very special children will succeed. Their challenge: to go on a secret mission that only the most intelligent and resourceful 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.

As our heroes face physical and mental trials beyond their wildest imaginations, they have no choice but to turn to each other for support. But with their newfound friendship at stake, will they be able to pass the most important test of all?

Welcome to the Mysterious Benedict Society.

Customer Rating:
Summary: wonderful, exciting story!
Comment: This is a great story. It's fun, intersting, takes some thought, and involves the reader (but only as much as he/she wants to be involved). Especially appealing for gifted children who sometimes feel left out, this book really emphasizes the good qualities in everyone.

Customer Rating:
Summary: John Buchan for kids--great read
Comment: A surprisingly engrossing read for youngsters. The puzzles are charmingly puzzling, the characters are delightfully sketched, and the adventures are delightfully looney. The author has created an imaginary world that pays tribute to the classics while remaining rooted in the fears of the contemporary world. John Buchan's The Three Hostages seems to have made an impression on this author: and a shadowy organization dedicated to creating uphappiness and that uses hypnotism (or a form thereof) are the enemies and in which mysterious riddles lead to the solution. This is a great influence--not a weakness.

Summary: What an Adventure
Comment: My mom got me this book expecting me to have something to read for the Summer. It would have been my favorite book of the Summer had I only waited for Summer! As soon as I got it, I read the first chapter and couldn't put it down. I finished the book a little less than two weeks. Everyday I read the series. I'm now on the second book. But I would read on the bus, in the auditorium, free time, and at night before bed. What made me like the book so much is that the characters were unique, especially George "Sticky" Washington. Each chapter had its tie to the book and that drew me in. It is the best book i've ever read.

Summary: Absolutely Fabulous!
Comment: I loved this book. The characters are amazing and you really feel like you know them at the end of the book. It was suspenceful and interesting and fun. Mr. Benedict is a trustworthy man that I wish I knew and Milligan is reliable and always some one you can count on. I love all of the characters and events in this book and read the second book as well.
