“The Mysterious Benedict Society” is the first book of
Trenton Lee Stewart’s series, “Benedict’s Society”.
Today’s society revolves around technological advantages and
schools for the smart, but what if you weren’t apart of the ruckus?
Eleven-year-old boy, Reynie Muldoon grew up in an orphanage being different
from all the other kids. He was the smartest child out of the orphanage, and
all his advisors wanted him to excel to new heights of knowledge.
One fateful morning, while sipping his tea, he came across a
headline in the newspaper, “Are you a gifted child looking for special
opportunities?” How odd, a question directed to children who would read the
newspaper. The Test would show how much talent you really possess. Without
hesitation, Reynie signs up and the days pass until the testing day. Reynie
stares at the enormous school and the long line of kids in front of him. Reynie
will soon find out the danger of what people can do with too much knowledge.
The book revolves around Reynie and his three friends he
encounters on his adventure. This mystery unfolds to be the darkest plan for
the minds of the world. This book is a page-turner, and shouldn’t be dropped
for the slightest second, for there is no time to think, or time to stop, when
battling against wits.
