The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey by Trenton Lee StewartMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This series of books was recommended by the Duke Talent Identification program for gifted kids. It is a wonderful book and especially for gifted children who may have some difficulty understanding their intelligence which often puts a distance between them and their peers. The children in the Mysterious Benedict Society are all gifted in different ways and they have to learn to accept the differences and making use of their individual gifts.
The story involves the apparent kidnapping of their mentor, Mr. Benedict, who had planned an interesting scavenger hunt for them, but ended up depending on the clues he left for the children to rescue him.
