The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart

Again! A Find! An eminently readable book written for children. This one is for ages 8-80. No bad language, no sexual content, and only mild violence- a good guy/bad guy type of thing. If you have to put this book in a category, how about "Kid Power Thriller", starring brainy orphans who become spies and save the world. I am going to get my 9 year old reading this, then my 11 year old, and then my 15 year old, as they will all think it's terrific. There are sequels, and I certainly can't speak to those (repeat: see entry Clan of the Cave Bear) but if they are as much fun, you can pick up the stack and your kids will read there way to a fun summer.
Another Hit.
