Author Trenton Lee Stewart lets students in on his 'Mysterious' world 

Trenton Lee Stewart's novels are doorstops, coming in around 500 pages each. With many books for middle grades readers, such heft might be seen as a drawback. But not for Stewart's hugely popular Mysterious Benedict Society series or his days-old novel The Secret Keepers. They're so good, students said after Stewart dropped by Taylor Hall on Thursday, that you want them to go on for as long as possible.
