• 3/09 The Mysterious Benedict Society, 2007
• Ages 8-13
• Once in a while you just want to read a book
  that's fun. This book is precisely that. Smart
  and thoroughly a good good read.Reynie Muldoon
  doesn't think of himself as extraordinary. He
  thinks of himself as weird and out of place. An
  orphan, Reynie and his tutor one day spot an
  advertisement that reads, "ARE YOU A GIFTED CHILD
  LOOKING FOR SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES?" He is, as it
  happens, and that means taking a series of tests.
  Odd tests. Odd, increasingly peculiar tests that
  go beyond the classroom, or even the realm of the
  normal. By the end of the puzzles Reynie has
  passed, as have three other rather remarkable
  children. Sticky Washington is a bit of a
  bookworm, but the kind of kid who never forgets a
  single fact that he reads. Kate Wetherall is an
  athletic type who carries a handy bucket with her
  wherever it is that she goes. And Constance
  Contraire is very small, very rude, and very
  stubborn. Together, these kids have been
  recruited by a Mr. Benedict to infiltrate the
  very prestigious Learning Institute for the Very
  Enlightened and discover what it is that the
  school's devious head is planning. They know that
  it's evil and dangerous, but beyond that they are
  out of information. So it is that our four heroes
  become spies and set out to save the world using
  their very individual abilities.I've heard this
  book referred to as two different stories
  smooshed together into a single tale. That's not
  exactly how I'd chose to describe it, but it's a
  fair assessment. This actually isn't a problem
  either. If you like the first portion then you
  are bound to like the second. I was fond of the
  writing too. Never twee or coy, it comes right to
  the point of things without sacrificing emotion
  or character. It can get away with sentences
  like, "She announced her age right away, for
  children consider their ages every bit as
  important as their names." because they are
  straightforward and true. Stewart can get stuff
  across without a bunch of overwrought flowery
  language. "Their mouths went dry as bones," needs
  no further explanation. And somehow this text
  makes the horrific elements of this story all the
  more frightening. We know that there is a place
  called The Waiting Room in which children are
  placed and very bad things happen to them. When
  we actually learn what the room consists of, it's
  bad but not as awful as our minds may have lead
  us to imagine. Stewart works best when he plays
  off our unspoken fears. A chapter merely called
  "The Whisperer" shows a chair with arm braces,
  rivets, and a scary helmet. For the faint of
  heart the mere suggestion of the chair might
  frighten them. Nothing is as bad as it seems in
  this book, though, so maybe it's a good thing
  that Stewart lightens initial horrors with
  mundane explanations.It's very hard to create a
  protagonist hero that's believably clever and
  likable. Yet our hero, Reynie, is exactly the
  kind of kid you want to see in a leader. He
  impressed me right from the start when, on going
  to take a test, he sees that a girl has lost the
  one pencil they were allowed to bring, and merely
  snaps his in half to help her out. There is
  comfort to be had too in a hero that is smart
  enough not to fall for the traps the author has
  set for him. Constance seems a pain when we meet
  her, but Reynie is willing to give her the
  benefit of the doubt when the other characters
  and even the reader won't. Characters much prefer
  to feel what their readers are feeling, so I am
  always impressed when one goes against the grain
  in a satisfying fashion.Comparing the books to
  "A Series of Unfortunate Events" is inevitable,
  what with clever kids using their wits to
  outsmart the buffoons around them. I usually shy
  away from comparing anything to Snicket's series,
  if only because I have only the greatest respect
  for those books, but Stewart does something with
  "Mysterious Benedict Society" that is worthy of
  note and similar to Lemony. In "Unfortunate
  Events" the Baudelaire children eventually have
  to make some ethical choices that leave them
  uncertain of whether or not they can be
  considered "good" any longer. Stewart also takes
  into consideration the moral implications of
  placing children in danger, even if it is for the
  sake of saving the world. If Mr. Benedict is a
  good man, then how can we approve of him taking a
  group of kids he hardly knows so as to send them
  willy-nilly into harm's way? It is comforting to
  watch Mr. Benedict wrestle with this choice. And
  when the danger heats up, he even finds a way to
  try to get the kids away from the school. Much of
  the book is concerned with making it clear that
  kids have a right to DO what is right, and pay
  the consequences for those choices. It's not a
  message you hear very often.

• In terms of the sequel, one person I discussed
  the book with said of it, "I don't feel I need to
  go back to that world." I agree, in a way.
  Stewart wraps up his loose ends nicely. Unlike
  some series for kids, you aren't left with many
  holes or gaps in the plot. There is certainly
  room for a follow-up, but if you don't read it
  you won't feel you've missed something. The
  important thing to remember is that clever kids
  like clever tales. For children who like
  everything from "The Westing Game" by Ellen
  Raskin to The Puzzling World of Winston Breen, by
  Eric Berlin, this is the book for them.
  Consistently fun and fine, the book whizzes
  through its 400 pages so fast that you'll be
  shocked at how quickly you find yourself at the
  end.Notes on the Book Flap I love that theres
  a Morse Code message hidden on the flaps.  Of
  course, if any child looses the cover, they wont
  be able to solve the mystery on the final page of
  the book.  Hopefully that will not happen
  often.Notes on the Cover  Whoo-boy.  All right
  now this... this is a problem.  On the outset it
  looks like a pretty cool cover, right?  The
  illustrations both here and inside are done by
  one Carson Ellis, who has drawn album covers for
  bands like The Decemberists n such.  That is all
  well and good.  So Im admiring the cover when I
  notice something.  Maybe this got changed in
  subsequent printings of the book but if so they
  certainly havent changed it anywhere online.  I
  am referring to the character of Sticky
  Washington.  Sticky has dark skin in the book. 
  Now look on the cover.  It took me a while to
  figure out why I wasnt seeing Sticky there.  I
  was, but theyve bleached him out.  In short,
  they made Sticky white.  What on earth?  Now
  whose brilliant idea was this?  Hey guys, about
  that kid who isnt white?  Why dont we just
  forget to color him in when we print the book? 
  Thats cool, right?  Ye gods, this is an
  oversight!  Look at him!  Hes paler than
  Constance!  Talk about a bad jacket art move. For
  shame. Other Blog Reviews (Proving That I Am

• I don't tend to promote book websites (seems a
  bit like overkill if I do) but The Curiosity
  Chronicle is rather nicely done.  Kudos to the
  creators.
• Here's an interview with the author.
• And Carson Ellis has a lovely little website and

• 11/08, Grade 10, Adaptation of MARLEY ME -
  People of all ages will laugh and cry while
  reading this humorous, heartwarming and tender
  tale. Marley's sloppy, wet kisses, drool-flinging
  and food-sneaking will steal your heart. The
  ending is emotional, and you will ache right
  along with the Grogan family.
• At the dog beach one must adhere to a number of
  strict rules, one of which is that pooping is not
  allowed in the water. Unfortunately, Marley is
  unable to comply with this one after drinking all
  the salt water
