The Benedict Blues

We have finished the last installment in The Mysterious Benedict Society,
The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Prisoner's Dilemma.
 
 I think we all enjoyed it- but it didn't move as fast as the previous two books did.   To quote one of my kiddos- "It was good, but not as exciting or didn't have as much fast action." 
The ending was very sweet, and not what I expected. 
Again, the vocabulary was wonderful.  I love it when the kids ask what a good word means.   I know that they are listening that way. 
Again, now we are at the end of a lovely series.  Always gives me the blues...

It's been fun reading a book by a local author.    Maybe we need to try and do that more often to support our wonderful Arkansas writers!
I think we might check out some of the Arkansas Literary Festival events this week!
