The
Mysterious Benedict Society "'Several years ago, in the course of my research on the human brain, it came to my attention that messages were being delivered to people all across the world--delivered, I should say, quite withouth their knowledge. The messages were going directly into people's minds, which absorbed them not without knowing where the messages came from, but without realizing they had received or read anything at all. I believe these messages are the source of the phenomenon commonly known as the Emergency." The Mysterious Benedict Society. The Emergency had everyone worried. People were disappearing. The government, school systems, the budget, the weather were all in a mess. Crime was rampant. Citizens clamored for improvement in government. One person knew why. Another person knew what to do about it and started by putting an ad in the newspaper. The curious ad in the newspaper offered a gifted child "special opportunities." It caught the eye of Reynie, a gifted young orphan who was greatly in need of challenge and higher level learning. The first step in choosing a team that qualified to receive the special opportunity was a series of clever tests and problem solving tasks. Would Reynie win the opportunity to join the odd collection of gifted children? Would he have the courage to face the terrifying and dangerous plan that only children could possibly carry out to save the world? Would the Mysterious Benedict Society have the talent and resources to be able put a stop to the Emergency? Research
