+The Mysterious Benedict Society was a massive part of my childhood. I found a copy of it for a dollar at a local book sale recently, and re-read it in a day-- it was just as wonderful as I remembered it being from so many years ago. A must-read for all ages (i.e. 4-99, as the lego box suggests).

+A historical account of San Francisco's urban evolution, with its centerpiece, the Ferry Building, in the spotlight. It even includes a mention of the exact bookstore I bought it from, which was a special moment to read!

+Such a fun, rapturous read! I'm not an 80s kid, but I got enough of the references for it to be thorougly enjoyable (maybe that means im old lol?). Can confirm, the book is way better than the movie.
