At the moment, I am reading The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart, a book written much like a Lemony Snicket.
Summary: "ARE YOU A GIFTED CHILD LOOKING FOR SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES?" When this peculiar ad appears in the newspaper, dozens of children enroll to take a series of mysterious, mind-bending tests (And you, dear reader, can test your wits right alongside them.) But in the end just four very special children will succeed. Their challenge: to go on a secret mission that only the most intelligent and resourceful children could complete. With their newfound friendship as stake, will they be able to pass the most important test of all?
