The Mysterious Benedict Society follows four children, two boys and two girls, who are chosen for a very important mission.  A secret mission that only the most intelligent and inventive children could complete. To accomplish it they will have to go undercover at the Learning Institute for the Very Enlightened, where the only rule is that there are no rules. What they'll find in the hidden underground tunnels of the school is more than your average school supplies. So, if you're gifted, creative, or happen to know Morse Code, they could probably use your help.  

The Swiss Family Robinson: Graphic Novel is the abridged version of Johann David Wyss's original book of the same name.  Written as a family-friendly book in the same genre as the less family-friendly Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe, the story follows The Robinson Family as they make a life for themselves after becoming shipwrecked on a deserted island.  This story is a wonderful example of teamwork, family support, and determination.
