Trenton Lee Stewart writes children's mystery and adventure fiction built around puzzles, unusual schools and groups of highly capable young outsiders. The Mysterious Benedict Society follows four gifted children recruited by the eccentric Mr Benedict to infiltrate the Learning Institute for the Very Enlightened and investigate a hidden form of mind control. Later books continue with Reynie, Sticky, Kate and Constance as they solve coded messages and confront recurring enemies. Stewart's other work varies in tone, but the Benedict books define his readership. The series is clever, accessible and puzzle-driven, fitting middle-grade mystery, secret-society adventure and school-based fiction with teamwork and problem-solving at the centre. Read more Less
