Join at Your Own Risk...If you are looking for a good fantasy-adventure series to share with your kids, try Trenton Lee Stewart's Mysterious Benedict Society series. The books feature four gifted orphans/runaways (Reynie Muldoon, George “Sticky” Washington, Kate Wetherall, Constance Contraire) and a mysterious narcoleptic, Mr. Benedict. In short form, they band together to stop an eccentric inventor, Mr. Curtain, from taking over the world.
The books are Lemony Snicket-clever (though the second not as much as the first) and include enough action-adventure and character growth to satisfy Potter fans. Read 'em in order :
The Mysterious Benedict Society
