This is a No. 1 New York Times Bestseller that we’ve been raving about since it went stratospheric across the water earlier this year. Here you will meet four very unusual children each with three things in common – all orphans, all incredibly talented and all utterly and completely honest.
Akin to Lemony Snicket but in our view loads better, readers are plunged headfirst into a world of puzzles and logic, testing their ingenuity and cunning as well as that of the four children. It’s fast-paced, brilliantly plotted and the characters are incredibly endearing in their individual ways. Don’t let any 9+ year old miss this one. It’s an absolute gem.
'This book reminded me of some of the children's books I grew up with, like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The Phantom Tollbooth .' RICK RIORDAN, author of the PERCY JACKSON series
'Like the Potter books, this story goes beyond mere adventure' BOOKLIST When a peculiar advertisement appears in the newspaper for children to take part in a secret mission, children everywhere sit a series of mysterious tests.
In the end, just four children succeed: Reynie, Kate, Sticky and Constance. They have three things in common: they are all honest, all remarkably talented and all orphans.
They must go undercover at the Learning Institute for the Very Enlightened where the only rule is that there are no rules. There they must work as a team to save not only themselves, but also the world outside the walls ...
Trenton Lee Stewart is a first-time children’s novelist who teaches creative writing. He graduated from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop.

He lives with his wife in Little Rock, Arkansas, where he is inspired by his two sons!
