Thank you for this timely post, it inspired me to buy The Mysterious Benedict Society at my favourite bookshop The American Book Center. With my 10% discount card and the €5 voucher they gave me for Thanksgiving (to be used before the end of the year) I only had to pay 4 euros. It seems like a nice holiday read. :) If I like it, I may even buy the sequels! I love the look of the series.

And the cartoon still made me giggle.
