This is one of those books I had heard of for years and meant to read. When I downloaded it on my Kindle, I thought it was about a group of monks. I was surprised and delighted to find it was a boarding school fantasy about four orphans that was full of action and adventure. Of course their assignment was no less than saving the world. The entire series--I had to read the other two in the trilogy immediately--is masterfully written and full of creative twists, secrets and heartfelt realizations. I LOVED these books and I was sad when the character's adventures ended.
"Are you a gifted child looking for special opportunities?" When the ad appears in a local paper, orphan Reynie Muldoon takes and passes mind-bending tests to gain a place at what he thinks is a school. As it turns out, only four children, all orphans, pass the test--and the school is not about getting an education but pursuing a secret mission.
With the guidance of the beloved founder, Mr. Benedict, Reynie, Kate, Sticky and Constance become a team of agents and are sent to uncover the dastardly plot of Ledroptha Curtain, who is brainwashing the world and wiping memories with his evil machine, the Whisperer. The children, using their unique skills and surviving extreme danger, manage to defeat Mr. Curtain and become a family of their own.You can't help but love these kids, even difficult Constance. I adore how each book reveals secrets about the children that I never saw coming. READ THESE STORIES!
