Would you recommend Mysterious Benedict Society to a 4th or 5th grader? Why or why not?
I would recommend this book to a fourth or fifth grader with a higher level of reading. Even for me as a college student, there was some difficulty in reading through the riddles and puzzles. I think for students with lower levels of reading it would be very difficult to get through the book as it can be confusing and it is rather lengthy. Despite a few questions I have about the book, I think it was a good read, even for someone not in elementary school.
