The Mysterious Benedict Society
I chose the book The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart. I chose this book because it's a mystery and it is a fantasy book too.My dad and Mrs. Koster recommended this book to me. I have read through page 106.
In the book The mysterious Benedict Society, there is a boy named Richard Muldoon who liked to be called Reynie. His parents died when he was a baby so he lives at an orphanage. He is really smart. He thinks and figures things out that most people would not understand.
He has a tutor whose name is Miss Perumal. She believes Reynie is a gifted child and convinces him to take a test for gifted children. He is the only person that passes the test in his group. There are many strange things that happen during the test. For example, he is kept from calling Miss Perumal. There was also a skinny woman who was wearing a yellow dress that made her look like a pencil. Reynie later passes another test.
After the second test, he is taken to a room where he meets several children who also passed the test in different groups. He meets Pete, a bald kid with glasses. He also meets a very energetic, funny,and tall girl who is named Kate. Later, someone takes Reynie, Kate, and Sticky to a third test. They all pass it as well. After the third test, the three children meet another girl. Her name is Constance. She is short, pudgy, and sometimes rude. The children figure out what all of these tests are about.
I predict that Constance will stop being so rude. I also predict that she will start to be friends with Sticky, Reynie, and Kate. I think that they will all become friends in the end. I think the people that picked them to pass the tests wouldn't pick them if they wouldn't work well together.
The house that the children stay in this book has a maze in the front of the house and other cool stuff. The house in book reminds me of the big, cool house that the Weasleys have in the book Harry Potter.
Such a good book! The part with the tests was one of my favorite parts of the entire story. And you're right -- there are definitely things in this book that are reminiscent of Harry Potter; I never thought of that until you suggested it!
