The Mysterious Benedict Society

Dear Class,

I have been reading the book The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart. It is about 4 kids that go on an adventure to an island. But before that they must past tests. For Reynie, the main character, all but one of these tests were easy from the start. The first test was just like a regular test with some odd questions. For example, one of the questions was Are you brave? Reynie answered probably the best answer: I hope so. The second test was the one he had trouble on. Nobody knew it, but it was a puzzle. The quesetions were impossible! But then he figured out the question 21 was the answer to #1, 22 to #2, and so on. He finished the test just as the "teacher" (Reynie thought she looked just like a pencil with her yllow pants, yellow shirt, red hair and pink shoes) said "Stop, the test taking period is now over." Reynie was the only one who passed.

So then Reynie got to go on a secret mission. Mr.Beneict was his "master" and told him what to do. There were 3 other kids on his team, Contance, Sticky, and Kate. They went to an island to defeat the evil man, who was broadcasting thoughts into people's head so they would obey him. They also have to defeat men who use office supplies as weapons!

I recomend this book if you enjoy mystery. It is officially my favorite book for sure!
