I finished the Mysterious Benidict Society a long time ago,but it's REALLY good.I'd recommend it to even adults!!!Mr.Benidict (hence the name the Mysterious Benidict Society)hold tests to see which 4 children he will send on a VERY important mission.Reynie(Reynold) Muldoon,Kate Wehrall,Sticky(George)Washington,and Constance Contraire make it to the last test,they pass it and then,they are involved in the mission.Mr.Cutain (Mr.Benisict's long-lost twin) has an Institute for the Enlightened,and Constance,Reynie,Sticky,and Kate must go there to see what Mr.Curtain is plotting to do, and he has a whisperer that whispers good but evil thoughts to those who go in it.Reynie and Sticky become Messengers(people who go INTO the whisperer and kind of feed the things that the whisperer has to say into other people's minds,very creepy if I had those messages pouring into my brain!!!)The thoughts are good but evil at the same time.He's trying to get everyone to be his evil minion(sort of) and help the worl listen to him to be "happier".Well,to make a long story short,the kids stop Mr.Curtain from his first attempt.But,Mr.Curtain's still out there!(Read all about it in the Mysterious Benidict Society and the Perilous Journey!)See ya! :o)
I very much like your book reviews. They make me wish I had more time to read all the good books in the world. I just finished The Shackled Continent by a reporter for "The Economist". He was sharply critical of the leaders of the African nations for being corrupt, dishonest, hypocrites. It will be difficult for Africa to become enlightened, functioning, countries until they are governed by competent, honest people. Keep up the good work. GPJ
