The Extraordinary Education of Nicholas Benedict

by TRENTON LEE STEWART

This is basically a prequel to his series THE MYSTERIOUS BENEDICT SOCIETY, this is basically a book on how things got started. 

Its a beautifully written book that is full of excitement and sad moments and how Nicholas pulls through the good and the bad. This book left me crying at some point but laughing at some points too (mostly crying). 

The is about the amazing nine-year-old Nicholas Benedict. Nicholas is an orphan, and also has narcolepsy, a condition that gives him terrible nightmares that leave him falling out of his bed and makes him fall asleep at the worst possible moments, he could be walking up the stairs and literally fall asleep right there. In this book his sent to a new orphanage, where he meets John his best best friend (I know I said best twice) and The Spiders, a group of 3 vicious bullies  who torments everyone/all of the orphans, selfish adults like Mr. Collum the director/the person in charge of the  orphanage/the manor/ child's end who locks Nicholas in a room  so that nobody can hear him screaming at night during one of his many nightmares. This is also where he finds out about a certain treasure that could be one of the greatest mysteries of his young life and also one of the reasons he meets Violet, a talented artist. And all of this happens because of MR COLLUM AND HIS BEAUTIFUL LEDGER. 


This book is suitable for anyone at any age and its one of my all time favorites. If you can read this book's for you.
