For fans of Lemony Snicket and Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library, this first book in the bestselling, award-winning Mysterious Benedict Society Series is not to be missed!

"Are you a gifted child looking for special opportunities?" Dozens of children respond to this peculiar ad in the newspaper and are then put through a series of mind-bending tests, which readers take along with them. Only four children—two boys and two girls—succeed. Their challenge: to go on a secret mission that only the most intelligent and inventive children could complete. To accomplish it they will have to go undercover at the Learning Institute for the Very Enlightened, where the only rule is that there are no rules. But what they'll find in the hidden underground tunnels of the school is more than your average school supplies. So, if you're gifted, creative, or happen to know Morse Code, they could probably use your help.

Wonderful and interactive adventure. Not only I rooted for them to succeed on their mission but for they as friends and for them to keep that strong bond. It’s going to take me a while to forget them if ever ocurres.

Oh my gosh. This was so good! The book was never boring. There were so many things in the book that I didn't even know. As reynie took these tests for special opportunities, it's was so exciting and some of the questions were so hard even I did not know the answer. The plot and storyline was so well prepared, writer has a high IQ, lol.. Really recommend this book

Read this when I was younger and faintly remembered that I loved it so much. Read it again and loved it even more. Can’t wait to read the rest of the series.
