The Mysterious Blogpost Society

I think that I will start this post by telling you that if you have never read the Mysterious Benedict Society, you need to read it immediately. Like right now. Seriously go out and buy yourself a copy right now. I'm not even kidding. Ok but really this is a fabulous book. And its about something that you might not expect. It is about misfit heroes. What I mean by that is there are some kids, unlike the rest who don't fit in. It may because they are smarter than the rest, or maybe its the fact that their parents are dead and they act stranger than they would if they were still alive. And yet in this book, they save the day.

Our three young heroes start with Reynie Muldoon an extraordinary bright eleven year old boy who decides a test which promises "special opportunities."While taking the test, Stick Washington and Kate Weatherall join Reynie. He grew up in an orphanage where all the kids made fun of him for being bright. He decides to put his skills to the test and ends up meeting adults, including Mr. Benedict himself and is given a top secret mission with Kate, Sticky, a girl named Constance whom he did not meet at the test.

This mission bonds our four characters and they develop a powerful friendship which is tested by Mr. Benedict's twin brother and his machine. These kids really show an affection for each other, which is probably because they have never really had true friends considering that they were all runaways or orphans.
