About The Extraordinary Education of Nicolas Benedict: (From Amazon.com)
Nine-year-old Nicholas Benedict has more problems than most children his age. Not only is he an orphan with an unfortunate nose, but he also has narcolepsy, a condition that gives him terrible nightmares and makes him fall asleep at the worst possible moments. Now he’s being sent to a new orphanage, where he will encounter vicious bullies, selfish adults, strange circumstances — and a mystery that could change his life forever. Luckily, he has one important thing in his favor: He’s a genius.
You can read more about the Mysterious Benedict Society here.
With a nine-year-old in the house, I am eager to get my hands on this latest book by Trenton Lee Stewart. It sounds like the perfect book for tweens, and I have the feeling that this is a book all three of my boys will love.

I read the book awhile back and remembered that they must go through the maze to “qualify” for the school. It was a great book and the sequel should be good too.
