Reynie passes the first test wit flying colors. He is told to take the second test at a place called the Monk Building, and he could only take one pencil and one eraser. It takes him a long time to find the Monk Building, but when he does he still has an hour left. Right before the test starts Reynie sees a girl named Rhonda drop her pencil in a sewage grate. Reynie breaks his pencil in half so she still has a pencil to take the test with. Rhonda offers him the test answer but he says no.
When the test director begins handing out the tests Renyie can see fear in everyones eyes. Some kids even start crying and leave the room. When Reynie get the test he becomes pale. He doesnt know any of the answers. Rhonda finishes very quickly. While coming back to her seat after turning the test in, she puts a little square piece of paper on Reynies desk with the answers. He flicks it away.
Reynie is reading the answers to the second half of the test when he comes upon words that were in the first questions. He realizes that the answers to the first half of the test are in the second half and vice versa.
While waiting for the next test he meets Sticky and Kate. The talk about the last test and learn that Rhonda dropped her pencil for each test and figuring out how to get her a pencil and refusing the answers was part of the test.
The kids are taken to a room by Milligan, their bodygaurd, for the next test. They have to cross a room by only stepping on the yellow squares. The yellow tiles are really far apart so u can't just walk to the other side. Kate does acrobatics across. Sticky walks on his ands and knees. Reynie just walks across because the floor tiles are rectangles not squares. Test they must find their way through a maze with rooms that all look alike. Reynie realizes that he must follow the yellow curvy arrows out. The first time is takes him 20 or so minutes. The second time it takes him 3. Kate took the shortcut and went through the ventilation pipes. Sticky made it through by luck and made it faster the second time because he remembered every turn.
Right after the last test they meet a girl named Constance. Mr. Benedict really liked her so she passed all the tests.
The kids were given the chance to join a team to help save the world from the Sender. He was using kids to send out messages to help him control the world. The only way to stop him was to go to the school where the sender in the headmaster. The kids must go to the Learning Institute for the Very Enlightened.
This book was really good. I had trouble putting it down. It may look long but it is worth your time. Under the rating is the website.
★★★★(out of five)
