The Mysterious Benedict Society Resources

It's all here: games, book summaries, a quiz to find out which MBSer you are, games, character rundowns, book reviews, and games. Did we mention there are games?

If you enjoyed the puzzles and riddles in The MBS, you should check out this page from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.

A great interview that will not only give you some insight into where Stewart got the idea for the MBS books, how he came up with the puzzles, and the uncooked confection that is his favorite sweet treat.

Yep. That's where Stewart was born—in Hot Springs—and that's why he has an entry in the encyclopedia. It's basic bio stuff, but it's basic bio stuff that we didn't find anywhere else.

Check out this trailer for the fourth book in the MBS series. It's all about Mr. B's education, and we assure you, nobody called him Mr. Anything as a kid.

Stewart reads from his short story Playing the Fool, which is all about the Shakespearean drama that is high school.

The Mysterious Benedict Society was a pick of NPR's Backseat Book Club back in March of 2012. This story is one part summary, one part interview with the author, and one part super fun music segues. It also features an MBS inspired puzzle at the bottom of the page called "Tamil Squares" and a Morse code primer.

Which character does he think he's most like? Did he like school? What's he writing now? Will there be an MBS movie?

Everyone's here and accounted for. Can you find all the MBSers hanging out (some quite literally) at Mr. B's house?

Not sure why they went so spooky on this one, or why it looks like Mr. B's house is actually a castle and half the characters are skeletons, but… the art is still fun.

Nighttime tends to be a little scarier than daytime, and with each of these covers getting progressively darker, we can only assume the publishers are trying to give the book an increasingly edgy feel. Which cover do you think best suits the book?
