The Extraordinary Education of Nicholas Benedict

De: Trenton Lee Stewart, Diana Sudyka

Narrado por: Del Roy

Before there was a Mysterious Benedict Society, there was simply a boy named Nicholas Benedict - now it's time to meet the boy who started it all.

Nine-year-old Nicholas Benedict has more problems than most children his age. Not only is he an orphan with an unfortunate nose, but he also has narcolepsy, a condition that gives him terrible nightmares and makes him fall asleep at the worst possible moments. Now he's being sent to a new orphanage, where he will encounter vicious bullies, selfish adults, strange circumstances -- and a mystery that could change his life forever. Luckily, he has one important thing in his favor: He's a genius.

On his quest to solve the mystery, Nicholas finds enemies around every corner, but also friends in unexpected places -- and discovers along the way that the greatest puzzle of all is himself.

The character progression

I found myself worried most of the book about certain character traits that I find unsavory. Such an excellent story. And, indeed, an excellent education.

Pretty good

I liked this book but I just wish the narrator did more voice pronunciation. God book over all though

Everything Stood out the most. It was amazing. I could listen to it every day for 3 years or more. And the reader was great.

Loved everything about it. Nothing could have gone wrong. The story plot was amazing and I loved Nicholas and his quirks. It was us so such a great book, and I will never forget it. It was it was probably my favorite book of the series, maybe. And I did love it so much, so so so much.Bye bye now!
