The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart
3.0

Just discovered that the author is an alumni of my tiny liberal arts college, which made the read more fun.
However, I did find the book a bit clunky. Parts of it were just delightful, but much of it just wasn't handled with a deft touch, when it should have been. And certain plot points just seemed too obvious? That's not quite the word, but he just didn't hit the clever mark like I expected. Still, an enjoyable read and I'm glad I checked it out.
Go Hendrix!
