The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart

Enjoyable Read? Yes
Would I read it again? No.
This one was really just fluff. I enjoyed the story, I liked the characters, I finished it with no strong feeling either way. It reminded me at times of the Lemony Snicket series, which I did like but didn’t love. The premise of this one is that a group of super smart kids (orphans) get together to invade a school, run by the bad guy, and foil his plot to take over the world. Things work put pretty much how you would expect – a couple of twists where someone turns out to be someone else, heroes that didn’t like each other at the beginning end up being friends, the orphans find families.
