Helpful Score: 3

Full of secret codes, puzzles and mysteries, "The Mysterious Benedict Society" is a book that will make you think. Full of puzzles and codes that you are given a chance to solve along with the characters. Humor is always there as well and you won't be able to put the book down until the end!
This book is about four gifted children. Reynard "Reynie" Muldoon is an orphan who not only knows his facts but can also think through puzzles in a snap. "Sticky" Washington is a runaway who remembers anything he's ever heard or read. Kate Wetherall is the muscle of the group. She likes action and adventure and is always prepared because she carries her bucket (filled with a lot of handy things) with her where ever she goes. Constance Contraire is the youngest of the group, and has a way with words (particularly putting words into insulting poems and songs on the spot), and although she is crabby and always complaining she is still an important part of the Mysterious Benedict Society (which is what the small group of misfits has called themselves).
Anyone of any age will love this book!
