About this ebook

Before there was a Mysterious Benedict Society, there was simply a boy named Nicholas Benedict - now it's time to meet the boy who started it all.

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.

On his quest to solve the mystery, Nicholas finds enemies around every corner, but also friends in unexpected places -- and discovers along the way that the greatest puzzle of all is himself.

Ratings and reviews

I find it really easy to finish the book because its amazing and fun to read, the book, most of the time, made me laugh as it has so many interesting characters in it. Also, Nicholas is such an inspiring character <3 This is one of the best book I've read!

So I am pretty sure I just wasted 7 dollars on this book. Every time I click "read" it says: "Book could not be displayed" I have a nexus 7 with several books on it and I haven't gotten this error before.

These books are amazing!
