The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart
Reynie spends his days at the orphanage with his tutor, Mrs. Perumel, discussing the news and learning to speak Tamil. One day they discover an astonishing advertisement in the newspaper: “ARE YOU A GIFTED CHILD LOOKING FOR SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES?” Once Mrs. Perumel convinces Reynie to take the test offered the next weekend, his adventures have just begun. Along with the nervous but knowledgeable Sticky, Kate (a girl who really did run away to join the circus!), and the incredibly stubborn Constance, these four kids undertake a task so adventurous and dangerous, readers will find the 512 pages flying by!
