The Mysterious Benedict Society

The Mysterious Benedict Society is by Trenton Lee Stewart. It's about four extraordinary children: Reynie Muldoon, Kate Wetherall, George "Sticky" Washington, and Constance Contraire. They have one thing in common: they all take a test and all pass it. It is made by Mr. Benedict. He made the test mind-bending and tricky. Only those four children passed. The reason for Mr. Benedict's test is because he needs undercover agents. A couple years before, Number Two (a code name) and Rhonda took the test and also passed, but there weren't enough children to make a team. So they serve as Mr. Benedict's assistants. I'm not going to spoil it for you, but here's a hint: it has to be children that go undercover. They each have their own gifts: Reynie is just a natural leader, and he can figure out puzzles by it just coming to him; Kate has a red bucket she always carries around with helpful supplies, and she used to live in the circus, so she is flexible; Sticky gets his nickname because anything he hears, it sticks in his head, making him unusually smart; Constance is very stubborn, but it just might save them in the end. . .Right now, there are two books out: The Mysterious Benedict Society and The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey. Coming soon is the third book, The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Prisoner's Dilemma.
