A review by danne789
The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart

4.0

I enjoyed this. I think if I had read it when I was younger, I would have devoured the entire series. The characters are all unique and fun - with the exception of Constance. She was not likable, but that was "explained" at the end. I still didn't love it. But the book as a whole was good enough to overlook it. The children dealt with real fears and problems which I felt were resolved in such a heartwarming way. There was fun suspense, fun mystery, and the perfect amount of silliness. The book didn't end with a cliffhanger per se, but it did set up well for the sequel. Definitely a fun read.
