Nicholas Benedict is a 9 year old orphan with a very rare condition called narcolepsy. If he laughs or cries for more than a few seconds, he falls asleep instantly, and doesn't wake up for an hour or more.
He lived in an orphanage where everyone was cruel to him except one boy, John Cole.
Nicholas also had a very special gift for remembering anything he had ever read or seen. This, naturally, was very handy to him.
With the help of John and a deaf girl named Violet (a girl from the neighboring farm) Nicholas sets off in search of a long-lost treasures. What the treasure is is certainly not what you'd expect it to be.
He also outsmarts a gang of bullies who call themselves "The Spiders", which saves a bunch of little children from being bullied, helps get a farmer a much-needed gift to lighten his work load, and generally is the type of boy everyone loves.
Nicholas Benedict (at age 70 or so) helps bring together the children who form the Mysterious Benedict Society, and they go on a mission to save the world. But the adventures of Reynie, Kate, George "Sticky", and Constance are another story...........

Now, after reading your review, I really want to know what the treasure is!
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess you'll just have to go to the library and get the book out yourself! :)
ReplyDeleteHello Caitlyn! I like your blog! It is very cute:)
ReplyDeleteIf you need help with any thing over Blogger (Blogger is confusing) please ask me! I have only been blogging for a short period of time. But I have (finally) figured my way around it.
