Shay Upadhyay's review of The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart
Age:

May 22, 2011
Why did you decide to read this book? Did a friend suggest it? Did it have an interesting cover?
My friend gave me this book for my birthday and she had said that she hadn't read it but her sisters had and they said it was very good. She also said that she had read the blurb and that it sounded interesting.
What is the story about?/What happened in the story?
The story is about 4 kids trying to stop a man from using his machine to put messages into peoples minds to make them do what he wants.
Who is your favorite character in the story? Why?
My favorite character in this story is Rhonda. She is very interesting because she is extremely short even though she is an adult. On the day the kids took the test to see if they were ready for the adventure, she pretended to be a kid and she, "accidentally," dropped her pencil. when the kids tried to help her get it back, and when they did, she offered to give them the answers to all the questions in the test. Each of them said 'no' because they didn't want to cheat. This was just a trick to see if they would cheat. I think this was very clever and funny.
Why did you like this story?
or Why did you not like this
story?
I like this story because the author makes you feel as if you are actually there. He also makes me feel as if I am friends with the characters.
Other thoughts or feelings about this story? Anything else to add?
I LOVE this story, but I would not recommend reading it more then once because to me it seems boring since the 1st time Trenton Lee Stewart makes it seem as if you are there, and for me the 2nd time it doesn't have the same effect. I recently tried to read it a second time because I loved it so much, but I couldn't because it seemed boring to reread it. It is just the way I saw it so you might have a different opinion.
