Four impossible kids, a weird house, a set of tricky tests, a brainwashing academy, a narcoleptic good guy and his evil twin...what could be better on a rainy day?

Every moment I read this book I kept wanting to read it. Every part of it was so action packed. If you like action books and an evil person mind controlling people to take over the world read The Mysterious Benedict Society

One of my favorite books, hands down.

"ARE YOU A GIFTED CHILD LOOKING FOR SPECIAL OPPORTUNITES?" A strange newspaper add led Reynie, Kate, Sticky, and Constance to a series of strange test hosted by a mysterious man named Mr. Benedict. When they pass, they are sent on a mission which might mean the freedom of millions of people. The book is well-written, the characters are engaging, and the plot keeps one at the edge of one's seat throughout the whole book. Ideal for an audience 12 and older, although it might be enjoyed by a younger audience.

This book is a mystery/action adventure and the main characters are Reynie, Kate, Constance, and Sticky. It is up to them to save the world from Mr. Curtain, an evil man who wants to take over the world with his device called The Whisperer. I recommend it!

“Are you a gifted child looking for special opportunities?” This unusual newspaper ad catches the eye of an especially observant and inventive orphan named Reynie Muldoon. It also catches the eyes of ready-for-adventure Kate Wetherall, brainy and sensitive George “Sticky” Washington, and very contrary little Constance Contraire. The children pass a series of tests for the mind and spirit and are recruited by the philanthropic Mr. Benedict. Their mission: Infiltrate the Learning Institute for the Very Enlightened, a school run by the brilliant but dastardly Ledroptha Curtain. Mysterious messages are issuing forth from the school to brainwash the unsuspecting population, and Reynie, Kate, Sticky, and Constance must combine their unique talents and skills to save the day. The reader follows clues and solves puzzles right along with the kids for a clever and interactive literary adventure. Like all worthy and wise orphans, Reynie and company pull together to outwit the villains and save the day. And like most orphans, their troubles are far from over—their unique capabilities are required in The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey and The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Prisoner’s Dilemma. And thank goodness for that, because few things are more fun than saving the day with the Mysterious Benedict Society.

this is one of the best books i have ever read in my life. it expresses what children can do when they work together, even having entirely different talents.this book is equally heartfelt as hilarious!

This is a really good book. It has so many things in it that the kids in it are doing that I never could have thought of or done. I would give it 5 stars.

The reader gets to follow clues and solve puzzles right along with the kids for a reading experience that is interactive, exciting, and thoughtful. Reminiscent of Roald Dahl and Lemony Snicket’s stories of clever orphans, The Mysterious Benedict Society is as rich in real-life issues as it is in character detail, suspense, and surprises. The crew reunites in to sequels, The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey (2008) and They Mysterious Benedict Society and the Prisoner's Dilemma (2009). The adventures and personalities of the kids are so delightful that we can only hope the Mysterious Benedict Society will meet again and again.

The Mysterious Benedict Society begins with Reynie finding an ad in the newspaper. He goes to the location described and takes a series of mind-bending tests. In the end, Reynie and three other children are chosen to go on a very important mission: to find out what a school on an island called Nomansan is hiding. The kids are informed of a machine called a whisperer that sends out messages through radio and television. It will eventually do something to hurt the world but they are unsure of what it will do. Mr. Benedict, the leader of the spy mission, will be helping the kids through the entire mission and communicating with them via morse code. In the end, Reynie and his friends, Constance, Kate, and Sticky disable the Whisperer and save the world from mass destruction.

I thought this book was great. Really very good. It has sequels too.

This is such an awesome book! It has mystery, it’s dramatic, it has everything a good book needs!

This book is one of my favorite books I have ever read. Your eyes flash over the book like bullets, but after you're done, you could recite the whole book word for word. Renyie, Sticky, Kate and Constance go on amazing adventures and solve many problems I have no doubt few adults could ever think of. But these four can, and they only need to have a few papers signed and they're off to Nomanson Island- with a mission to defeat Mr. Curtain and save the world!

This is about very smart people, epilepsy, puzzles, and life in general. The best realistic fiction ever. Thick.

Kids as heroes who save the world? Absolutely! Reynie, Sticky, Kate and Constance are the smartest and most resourceful children Mr. Benedict has ever found. And now he is sending them undercover to the Learning Institute for the Very Enlightened. Somewhere at the Institute, the evil Mr. Curtain is perfecting a machine which uses televisions and radios to control our minds. The children’s mission is find out how Mr. Curtain is doing it and stop him before every person on earth comes under his control.
