fun puzzles although I'm probably too old for them ( )

R checked out from class library, we ran through it together with a notebook, solving the puzzles. R memorised the title, she loves saying it out loud. Completing the puzzles, decrypting the message, and puzzling out that it was a hint for an online code occupied us for a couple weeks of evening readings. It would work as a standalone puzzle book, but the humour and payoff is for fans of the characters, certainly.

A nice mix of challenges and puzzles, quite fitting for the series and a change of pace for our read-aloud sessions. ( )

Cute little book of puzzles, plus some additional material for fans of the Mysterious Benedict Society trilogy. I wouldn't necessarily pay full price for this, particularly in hardcover, but it did provide some hours of diversion and good exercise for my brain, and I did enjoy the excerpt from the "prequel" featuring Nicholas as a young boy.

This book has many puzzles and all of them are related to The Mysterious Benedict Society series. Some are very hard. By solving most of the puzzles you can put together a coded sentence in the back of the book. ( )

Puzzles, enigmas, and conundrums! A perfect companion book for the remarkable children who share in the adventures of The Mysterious Benedict Society. It's a wonder that Trenton Lee Stewart didn't think of this earlier!

This new book of puzzles and riddles of all varieties, offers something for MBS fans as well as those who are unfamiliar with the books. The book includes quotes from the novels and character studies of each one of the members, as well as a Table of Contents, Hints, and Useful Resources. Great fun! But a warning - it's not easy! I found myself checking the hints more than once. I didn't attempt all of the trials (there are many), but all appear to require an answer to complete the final challenge. There are hours of entertainment contained in this little volume, illustrated by Diana Sudyka, and printed on glossy paper.
