The Mysterious Benedict Society
buy it buyit buy it. for the nephew. Honestly, I think the book is advanced for the average 9 yr old. There are things that my 4th graders ( from my book club ) would just miss. -- I find amazon puts a lot of books in the 9-12 range that might be ok on a numerical reading level for that group , but interest or emotional level is higher or lower.
They're saying that Candidate #5 is Jesse Jackson, Jr.
That was my first guess.
So who will get to appoint a Senator, presuming Blago doesn't try to do it from his cell?
In non-Chicago-graft-related news, this made me laugh and laugh: [link]
Where, Tom?
Looks like Auntie deleted the spoiler already.
The Lt. Gov, assuming Blagojevich steps down.

I've bought one copy for my 9 yr old nephew. I don't think it'll be beyond him. But what about a freakishly smart 12 yr old?
That press conference surprised me. I guess I was expecting a dry list of charges from the FBI instead of Patrick Fitzgerald talking about Lincoln rolling over in his grave.

My boyfriend has a huge mancrush on him now. (Or he already had it and it has now grown exponentially.)
I can't believe I was stuck in a meeting right when the press conference was coming on. I'll have to find it somewhere tonight.

Unless he doesn't like fiction -- He still ought to love it. It is about ultrasmart kids who have to work and be smarter than everything around them
and most of the freakishly smart 12 yr olds I've met are very rarely emotionally beyond 12.
Besides , all the adults I know that have read it , love it. So why wouldn't a 12 yr old?
