The Mysterious Benedict Society, Trenton Lee Stewart, 485 pages, December 5, 2010

I just finished reading the 485 paged book The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart on December 5, 2010.  It's about a group of gifted children who are taken to Mr. Benedict to go on a very important mission-they were to stop Mr. Ladroptha Curtain from taking over the world.  But with each question come an answer.  So obviously these children will defeat Mr. Curtain.  Or will they?
I liked this book because every one of their problems, no matter how intriguing, just got better and better.  For example, when Reynie was looking in at the Recruiters through a window (which is a very dangerous task) he was spotted and had to get away.
I would recommend this book to kids ages 7 to adult.

Maggie Bean Stays Afloat, Tricia Rayburn, 316 pages, December 2, 2010

I just finished reading Maggie Bean Stays Afloat by Tricia Rayburn.  It has 316 pages in it and I finished it on December 2, 2010.  It is the follow up of the Melting of Maggie Bean.  Maggie has decided to swear off boys for the summer after Peter rejected her.  But when she gets a job at Camp Sound View and meets Ben, everything changes.  She starts ignoring her old friends and skipping Patrol This meetings.  Maggie's friend Aimee has even stopped talking to her.  On top of that, the Beans are having trouble finding a reasonably priced house.  Will Maggie be able to pull everything together?
I liked this book because it was very girly and sweet.  For example almost the entire book was about boys which is very girly.
I would recommend this book to tweens and teenage girls.
