I received this book to read over and review (for free I might add).  It is supposed to be for those 9+ in age.  It is definitely for the younger set, but as I read through it, I found myself wanting to know more about 10-year-old Benjamin.  It all begins with his starting in a new school.  This is not the first time he has been enrolled in a new school...related to his mother's job as a lawyer and his father's job as well, they travel a lot.  Being a very smart boy, his parents enroll him two grades above his age group.  This comes with its own set of problems (middle school).  Needless to say, he is bullied his first day and many interesting things begin to happen to Benjamin from then on.  He gains friends (for the first time) along with his new abilities that are just beginning to develop and occur.Very cute story, one I probably would not have picked up related to intended age group.  Now that I have, however, I may have to discover what becomes of young Benjamin.  Would definitely recommend for the intended age set.
