SynopsisBefore 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., Before there was a Mysterious Benedict Society, there was simply a boy named Nicholas Benedict.

A great "prequel" to the Mysterious Benedict Society
I bought this book after buying and reading the others in the series. My children are pre-teen age and I laughed as much as they did! It is a really funny story and keeps you guessing what will happen next to young Nicholas Benedict. If you have read, and liked the other books, you will enjoy reading about Mr Benedict's childhood. I recommend this book for anyone around 9 or 10 (depends on the child) up to, and including, adults.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
