The Extraordinary Education of Nicholas Benedict by Trenton Lee Stewart
5.0
Fun(ny) fact(s): My favorite book of the entire series. Enough said.
Favorite quote/image: "Nicholas was thrilled to have friends, who like him, felt set apart from everyone else. For together they were not set apart–or rather, they were, but they were set apart together." (pg. 268)
Honorable mention: "He realized what was anchoring his happiness. It was purpose. He knew what he wanted to do. He knew the way thought things should be, and Mr. Harinton was proving that other people–even adults–could feel the same way. Nicholas had something to aim for now. He might now know what he wanted to be when he grew up, but he knew with absolute certainty how he wanted to be." (pg. 400)
Why: Representing one chapter in the origin story of the title mentor behind the Society, Stewart shows how incredible genius can be matched by extraordinary kindness.
