Product Description
The fabulous foursome readers embraced as The Mysterious Benedict Society is back with a new mission, significantly closer to home. After reuniting for a celebratory scavenger hunt, Reynie, Kate, Sticky, and Constance are forced to go on an unexpected search--a search to find Mr. Benedict. It seems that while he was preparing the kids' adventure, he stepped right into a trap orchestrated by his evil twin Mr. Curtain.
With only one week to find a captured Mr. Benedict, the gifted foursome faces their greatest challenge of all--a challenge that will reinforce the reasons they were brought together in the first place and will require them to fight for the very namesake that united them.

Read it in one day! July 17, 2008

My son, 9, read this book in less than 24 hours AND he slept all night! (I know because I swiped the book from his bedside table so I could read while he slept.) Great sequel to MBS. Didn't think it could be matched! Makes kids the heros- no grown-up can do what the kids can as a team. Good read-aloud for younger readers.
The mysterious benedict society is back!!!!!! July 15, 2008
YAHOOOOOOO!!! The mysterious benedict society is back and better than ever! This sequal is almost better than the original... almost but, not quite. What this book lacks in the suspence that made the first book it more then makes up for in other elements that the first one lacked. The puzzles are the same old challenging things that we all know and love- REALLY love. In the story mr. benedict and number two are captured by mr. curtain and the society must save them! Overall a wonderful book i hope there's several more mysterious benedict society books-if they're all as good as the first two.
 An OK Book July 13, 2008

This book was pretty good because of its suspense and adventure. The author describes the childrens' gifts, which is something that not all authors do in their books. The thing that first made me read the book was the cover, which had those funny dark shadows in the windows. What I don't like is that it's not like those books like "The Magician" and the "Percy Jackson and the Olympian" series books that are really creative and full of adventure. Overall, this book is cool, but not the best.
Perfect Sequel! June 28, 2008

Trenton Lee Stewart did a great job this time! Is much more than I expected it to be, and lives up to all my expectations!

The Mysterious Benedict Society was,I can honestly say,one of my all time favorite books. After I read the first book, I knew I just had read this book. It's so interesting that I found I couldn't take my head out of it and found myself reading untill ten o'clock one night. I would recomend this to anyone who likes adventure or simply a good book.
