    This Family Book Club is best suited for kids age 10+. 1 READ ALOUD The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart ARE YOU A GIFTED CHILD LOOKING FOR SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES? Dozens of kids respond to this peculiar and in the newspaper and are then put through a series of mind- bending tests. But only four of them— Reynie Muldoon, Kate Wetherall, Sticky Washington, and Constance Contraire— are chosen to be a part of the Mysterious Benedict Society. They soon discover they have been selected for a mission to go undercover at the Learning Institute for the Very Enlightened… and that the future and freedom of all humanity rests on the success of their mission. They must use their wits for the better of the world. But are they up to the task? As you read… encourage your kids to write down passages that resonate with them. There’s no wrong way to do this. If a passage from the book strikes you or your children as especially meaningful, write it down. You’ll be glad you did. (For more ideas on how to keep ongoing simple reading journals, watch the Simple Reading Journals Master Class.) Note: This is a long one—over 400 pages! It’s longer than Sarah usually recommends for a read-aloud, so feel free to use the audio book to help you along, or to let your kids read this one on their own and then gather afterward for the book club festivities.
