Nicholas Benedict is a child genius. He can read any book in minutes, can figure out how to fix any machine, and has a phonographic memory. But he also has narcolepsy. Narcolepsy is a sleeping conditions that sends Nicholas in a deep sleep at any unexpected moment, but especially when he is experiencing strong emotions. Because of his character traits and his condition, Nicholas is sent to Rothchild's Manor after he is kicked out of a different orphanage. Here he is locked in his own room at night and bullied by the Spiders. He makes enemies and one friend-but will the pressure from the Spider's crack the friendship? Nicholas soon finds out about a mystery to solve-a hidden treasure. Turns out the founders of the orphanage (the Rothchilds) had more treasure-and part of it was missing, the secret buried with the couple. Nicholas is determined to find the treasure to free him from the orphanage life. But someone else is looking for the treasure-Mr. Collum, the orphanage director. Will Nicholas be able to beat Mr. Collum to the finish line? I liked in this book that Nicholas really makes having so much intelligence look like fun. In some other books children with incredible knowledge are portrayed in a negative fashion. I really liked that this was solid background information on Mr. Benedict from the series "The Mysterious Benedict Society". Now we meet Nicholas, his child self and learn where he came from, about his sleeping condition, and how he grew up. Although there are a few gaps, we now can understand Nicholas as an adult. The main character Nicholas, had depth. We felt what he was feeling, we understood him, we cried when he cried. However, the other characters seemed to be a bit predictable. John had a sob story background, and was hesitant to defy the bullies. Violet was kind and determined to help her family. Even though the characters had predictable faults I think Stewart did a great job of tying all the characters and the plot together so that the puzzle pieces fit. I also liked in this book that there were little hidden clues to the big picture. Stewart did a fine job of foreshadowing. I recommend this book to anyone 5th grade and up. I think the characters and overall mystery in this book would not be suitable for anyone below. On the other hand, I think this is the sort of book that any adult can read and still find enjoyable. I think this book is perfect for mystery lovers. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.

this is a good book. If you have read the Mysterious Benedict Society books, you will most likely enjoy solving these puzzles! (even if you haven't read it)

In life you need to not give up because a girl named lrene dini’t up and she has been throw a lot things in the short story Brave lrene wanted to give the dress to the duchess instead of her mom doing it in the story, “Brave Irene” by William staig Irene learns to not give up because if she gave up she would’nt be where she is right now. She probably went to see her mom face again and The Duchess would’nt get the dress that she wanted, Irene would just be freezing in the cold with nothing no blanket and it’s snowing she can’t even make a fire because snow is pretty much water and you need to put on a fire with water one reason when lrene did it give up is when the wind told her to go home thing, another reason is she fell in a hole For example the wind told her to go home lrene was scared but she didn't get up because she wanted to make her mom proud and not waste all of her mom's time stitching up The Duchess dress that's how she never give up and in the text it says, “the wind said go home lrene said I will do no such thing”. Another example is that she is brave to go bring the duchess her dress. this shows that lrene is brave. Another example is lrene I was looking for the dress after she lost it and she couldn't see with all the snow in her eyes and she fell in a hole and twisted her leg I'm sure it hurt but Irene kept on walking on the path. In the text she, “said ouch and there was a little tear that went down her cheek she wipt it off quickly so it won't freeze on her face”another example that she is brave is to go when it’s snowing. this shows that lrene is brave. Another example is she was freezing but she kept on walking and she was so cool a lot and she just kept on going on and he didn't think that you were going to die. And she was thinking about her mom and how she wanted to get back to her mom because she was really sick. In the text it says that she was, “shuffling through the snow.'' Another example that she is Brave is to takc care of her mom. This shows that lrene is brave. As you can see lrene it is very carrying and she is loving and she is very brave because she loves her mom and she does the work for her mom and she gives her mom a quilt and she meets her some lemon tea with honey. And she never gives up because if she did give up then she cannot see her mom’s face again and The Duchess won'tl get her dress that she wants and everything will all be messed up. And I'm sure that thay will all Miss Irene even if they don't know her I think that this book was awesome because I really enjoyed it and it made a lot of sense and it is something that I will be again and again definitelyand I am happy that she accomplished what she wanted to do.

In life people will want you to do things you don't wanna do. In the story ‘’The Other Side’’ by Jacqueline Woodson clover wanted to play with the people on the other side of the fence but her mom and friend Sandra didn’t want her to. Luckily it didn’t stay that way forever. ‘’The Other Side’’ teaches to not always listen to what people say. My first reason for this is that when her mom told her not to play with the people on the other side of the fence, And when her friend told her not to play with the other girl (Annie), And lastly when her mom told her not to play outside on rainy days. My first reason why ‘’The Other Side’’ teaches to not always listen to what people say is when her mom told her not to play with the people on the other side of the fence. What i mean by this is if she had listened to her mom she would have never met Annie. Also if she would have took her mom’s advice the whole book would have never of happened, and there wouldn’t be a story to tell about this. I know this because in the part clover starts explaining where she lives and it says ‘’And mama said, Don’t climb over that fence when you play. She said it wasn’t safe.’’ This shows that if she would have listened to her mom she would have never got to play with Annie. My second reason why ‘’The Other Side’’ teaches to not always listen to what people say is when her friend Sandra told her not to play with Annie. What i mean by this is when they were playing jump rope and Annie walked up to them and asked to play but it says ‘’And my friend Sandra said no without even asking the rest of us.’’ This shows that Sandra probably said no because she didn’t want clover and the other girls to play with Annie. My final reason why ‘’The Other Side’’ teaches to not always listen to what people say is when her mom told her not to play outside on rainy days. If she would have listened to her mom and just stayed inside she might not have got to introduce herself to Annie. In the part that this happened her and her mom were going back and forth about her playing outside on that rainy day and it says ‘’ Mama wouldn’t let me go outside in the rain.’’ This shows that her mom hasn’t really been a help to their friendship. And it is also a good thing that she didn’t listen to her mom.

I decided to read this book because it looked interesting ( I mean how could you not want to know why there's a yeti on one side of a cake and a princess on the other). Here are 2 reasons why I liked this book. #1 is that it gave you a good look at how a teenage society runs and how we can change that. #2 is that I really like stories about switching bodies,dimensions,or worlds.

my brother (Gabriel Turcios) read it and he loves it so if you have a younger sibling at the grade of first grade or kindegarden read it to them and see if thy like it give this book 5 stars

There is a ghost that is in the school bathroom. Haha. And they are trying to get it out. So, they make a potion, but there needs to be some of Nancy's hair in it. Haha. So, at night time when Nancy is sleeping, Bean cuts off a little tiny bit of her hair. So then they pour it around the bathroom because the potion makes no one go back to it. At the end of the book, Bean is like, "Nancy, did you get a new haircut?" And Nancy is like, "No," and runs inside to look in the mirror.

The first two books in this series surprised me and I really liked them, but this one just wasn't as good in terms of the plot line. The main theme of this book is that the Recruits put together a morning announcement broadcast for their school using some equipment they found. The use this broadcast to help other people get through tough times and help people in need, but also to show people that everyone has some good inside of them. I loved this message that was buried inside the book, but besides that everything else about the book was just, meh. Firstly, I felt that there was too much spotlight on Gavin's football team. I feel like in most movies, shows, or books taking place in middle school it portrays the message that sports are the most important thing, and don't get me wrong I LOVE to play sports, but there is more to life than those wonderful jocks. Everyone is always admiring them, like, "look at those cool football guys who are the most popular of all, lets go try and sit with them." I feel that the spotlight should be put on something else for a change, and that everyone else didn't get the credit they deserved. In the book, when Natalie can't think of a story for the broadcast, she always just does sports recaps, and I think that really tells us something about how we are portraying certain aspects of middle school. Second, I feel that there was too much stress in the book on talking about Natalie and Trevor's relationship, they never knew what to do or say, them being together was causing a bunch of problems, and they weren't communicating very well. I mean, you don't NEED a relationship, especially in middle school, just be friends. Third, I feel that none of the stuff that the recruits succeeded in doing and none of the stuff that happened to them, would never happen to a normal kid. Now I understand that it is a book and the characters need to be special, but they got way too much publicity to be realistic. I would still recommend this series because I loved all the multiple perspectives and it was overall pretty well written, just not one of my favorites. Remember, this is just my opinion and no one has to feel the same way.
