"Are you a gifted child looking for special opportunities?" When this peculiar ad appears in the newspaper, dozens of children enroll to take a series of mysterious, mind-bending tests. (And you, dear reader, can test your wits right alongside them.) But in the end just four very special children will succeed. Their challenge: to go on a secret mission that only the most intelligent and resourceful children could complete. To accomplish it they will have to go undercover at the Learning Institute for the Very Enlightened, where the only rule is that there are no rules.

  • Middle-grade, YA Imagination at its Finest

    Mark Y. - 4 years 11 months ago

    I am charmed by the unique tone of this book, and the fun story it has to tell - middle-grade, YA imagination at its finest. It stars genius kids, but it avoids the familiar trappings of making their intellectualism a series of magic tricks and shows the reader their processes and logic. This makes the ride a whole lot more fun and even interactive. #SpringPicks

  • The Perfect Book

    T G. - 4 years 11 months ago

    This is an amazing book that I think everyone should read! From the start to the end, it captured my attention and held it, as I experienced taking the test, passing, and wondering about all the mysterious stuff along the way. I think that kids (and adults) of all ages will enjoy this epic read. #SpringPicks

  • Highly entertaining book for readers of all ages. Exciting, has some puzzle like elements, and has good values.

    Magdalena B. - 5 years 9 months ago

    This book is the first in a series, and is one of my favorite books. Although the book is written as a piece of fiction, it does have some mystery/puzzle like elements. Without being obvious, like so many books these days, this series upholds good values and teaches the importance of friendship, trust, and integrity. It is written as a children's book and is suitable for children about 12 and up, but it is still enjoyable to older readers, and I know a number of other adults who have enjoyed this book as well. This book has a solid storyline, well developed characters, and maintains your attention.

  • Compelling and Entertaining

    Isabel T. - 5 years 9 months ago

    A unique and charming story that will engage and delight young readers. The characters are incredibly personable and the author speaks in a manner that feels very suitable for children, but without being patronizing or too elementary. The story is intriguing and very different from anything I’ve ever read, and I highly recommend it as an engrossing read for young and old readers alike. I still come back to it as an adult and find the story stays exciting, and the characters, endearing. #SummerReading
