Extraordinary Education of Nichols Benedict, Trenton Lee Stewart
★ ★
The book had an interesting premise: orphan, shipped from orphanage to orphanage, deals with bullies, few friends, too intelligent for his own good, challenge to headmaster, & the treasure....
It was 400+ pages, so it was long & tedious with too much minutiae, and of course an author attempting to be overly clever.
I figured out what the treasure was early on, but became easily bored through-out.
But now I can say I attempted to read this series!
