The Mysterious Benedict Society is a thrilling page-turner of a book, focusing on a group of gifted children as they sneak into a school on a mission to save humanity from the evil Mr Curtain.

I recommend this book for readers aged 9 -15 years. I enjoyed the fact that it’s full of lots of challenges and plot twists, riddles and interesting events.
