The Mysterious Benedict Socitey

Most of the time when someone refers to classic literature, they mean something that has been around for a while and has withstood the test of time. Families have enjoyed classics for years and it is expected that no matter how much time passes, these stories will continue to be enjoyed. Every once in a while you come across a book that although new, you just know will become a classic. The Mysterious Benedict Society should be one of those books. I say should because I fear that in this world of all too often dumbed-down movies, games and books (SpongeBob Squarepants and Captian Underpants come to mind), that this book will go undiscovered. It is so witty and full of intellectualism and just a really good children's adventure story. My kids had a blast trying to solve all the riddles and problems along with the kids in the book. This is a trilogy and Jared and his friends have already read the other two and say that they are just as great. The Mysterious Benedict Society is timeless!
