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 newspaper ad and are 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.

"Genius kids go undercover to save the world! I listened to the audio book and I think I would've enjoyed reading it more. But overall a great book for kids who like mysteries and solving puzzles and riddles. "

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I absolutely love all the characters in this book and giggled so much reading this. Constance was my favorite by faaaaaarrrrr. I agree with a lot of people that this book did get a tid long and that’s why it got docked star-wise."

"TMBS is so well-written, funny, light-hearted, and still a little deep. I read it first when I was 12, and still go back and re-read it every once in awhile because it's just delightful. The characters are vivid and the concept is thought-provoking."
