the mystery of "the mysterious benedict society"
when chelley and i were in kc, we wandered in to b&n, cuz bookstores are happy and we had time to kill. in wandering around, we ended up at the children's section, where this unknown book caught our eye. i think the words 'mysterious' and 'society' probably peaked our interest, but the thing that most caught our attention (i think) was the artwork. the pictures on the cover and inside look very much like a 'betsy-tacy' book, as does the script in the table of contents. we decided we should read it. and so i did. um...chelley?

I guess it's my turn now... :) What's "betsy-tacy"?
So...does this mean you're not going to tell us what it's about?
mary - see below
chelley - that is very sad. they are great children's books that were written in the '40s and 50's and take place at the turn of the (last) century. i read the first few in elementary school, but stopped reading once betsy, tacy, and their other friend tib, got to high school. i should go back and read all of them. (i actually did read 'betsy-tacy' again a couple years ago just for fun.)
