Dozens of children respond to this peculiar ad in the newspaper and are then put through a series of mind-bending tests, which readers take along with them. Only four children-two boys and two girls-succeed. Their challenge: to go on a secret mission that only the most intelligent and inventive children could complete. To accomplish it they will have to go undercover at the Learning Institute for the Very Enlightened, where the only rule is that there are no rules. But what they'll find in the hidden underground tunnels of the school is more than your average school supplies. So, if you're gifted, creative, or happen to know Morse Code, they could probably use your help.

I LOVE this book. It had so many unexpected turns and the author explains everything perfectly! I would recommend this for anyone who likes Harry Potter, A series of Unfortunate Events, and Warrior Cats.

I know I already reviewed this book...BUT I was holding the second and third and decided to recommend it to everyone who reads this!!! ITS AMAZING!!!

this complicated jigsaw puzzle has an amazing ending that will leave readers staring in aww. the characters were thought out perfectly and the plot intertwined with itself extremely well. I give it and Trenton Lee Stewart fifty stars!!!!!

This book is great. I read it, sort of racing with my sister, who was also reading it. I think it is a little nugget, that most people mistake as fool's gold. You have to be completely committed to this book, because it does start out slow, but it gets better. It is about Constance, Kate, George (Sticky), and Reynard, who are all extremely smart in there own way. After seeing a mysterious ad in the newspaper, they each go take a difficult chain of tests. Will they pass, and, if they do, then what?

This book may be boring in the begging but gets kind of scary in a really cool way. Don't stop reading it because you think its boring with the first sentence.
