The Mysterious Benedict Society

Reynie Muldoon is no ordinary child. He lives in an orphanage in a city called Stonetown. He was an orphan. Reynie didn't like to do the things that ordinary boys his age like to do. Reynie liked reading the newspaper and solving puzzles. He and his tutor (Miss Perumal)had one of their ordinary days, drinking tea and reading the newspaper. Miss Perumal and Reynie noticed an Ad in the paper that said, "Are you a gifted child looking for a special opportunity?" Reynie then found himself in a building taking a test. He passed it. Reynie moved on to the second test. He met two kids his age a girl named Kate Wetherall who always carried around a red bucket that had all the tools that she needed and a boy named George Washington but went by Sticky. Sticky knew everything, thats why his name is Sticky because everything sticks to his brain. All three of them had passed both tests, but there was one more. In the end, all three passed the test. Later they were told that they were now on a mission. They later found out that they were working for a man named, Mr. Benedict. Their mission was to go to a private school, and solve a mystery that has been haunting Stonetown for a while. But there was one more person involved. A young girl named Constance Contraire. Constance liked to make up rhymes. When they all met together, the four of them decided to name their group, "The Benedict Society." They were to set off to the school the next day.
After they arrived at school, they noticed fishy things going on. Constance and Kate always got in trouble, and Reynie and Sticky always got rewarded. Their were workers that acted different.
Later the Benedict Society discovered that the boss of the school had a brain washing machine. Find out what happens in the end!

A quote from the book that I liked was when Kate said, "I've tried to get people to call me Kate the Great Weather Machine! But they never do......"
