One of my favorites

The Mysterious Benedict Society is definitely one of my favorite books, its so exiting and interesting you can't put the book down until you figure out whats happens next! The whole story is about four extremely smart kids get mixed up in confusing adventure Reynie,Constance,Sticky and The Great Kate
Weather Machine (AKA Kate) have to use their minds and quickly before its too late! Maya age 8

Loved this book

I was in the library choosing books for my 2 and 4 year old when I saw the Mysterious Benedict Society--loved the illustration on the cover and read the first few pages and was hooked. I could not put this book down (as an adult reader) and never felt like I was reading "children's fiction" -- it is a great story, engaging, suspenseful and thoughtful (I especially found the subplot about media messages thought-provoking). I'm sure older children would enjoy this book, but parents -- this one is for you too.

Highly Recommended

This book was delightful. It's one of the most thoughtful, intriguing pieces of children's literature I've read recently. I would highly recommend it, not only to children, but also to any adult who would like to experience a thoughtful, easy reading piece of children's literature.

Enjoyable book!

What a delightful story! It is difficult to categorize this book - it's not truly fantasy, but its not just adventure or mystery either. Perhaps a little Sci-Fi more than fantasy? Well, anyway, it was a wonderful book about four children who agree to help save the world. It sounds a little over-done, I know, but it's really quite sweet and charming. Well-written with loveable characters and a kindness throughout the book I was enthralled from the first page.
The book isn't incredibly in-depth - it isn't Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings. The characters and plot, while both intriguing and well rounded, do not have quite as many layers as some other works.
However, that said, I still loved the book! The friendships were wonderful and it was so much fun solving the puzzles along with the characters. And, yes, I was still surprised at - not entirely the ending itself - but how the ending came about.
The letters Reynie writes are delightful, and the "morals" of the story are apparent without being annoying.
If you're at all curious as to what the Mysterious Benedict Society is, then don't hesitate to find out!:)
(5 stars to the beginning 4 stars to the later half)
