Also very well written. I thought it was the best out of all of them. It had the most excitement, most action, and the most problem solving and mystery taste to it.

3.0

definitely the worst of the three (the first one was truly incredible, show stopping, never been done before) but it was still v good. once again the babies loved it and they are sad that the series is over but we will find something else to read never fear.

Bedtime stories.

definitely getting repetitive with the plot and action scenes now but i still love these characters and their whimsical little minds so much so i can’t complain

Good book for the kiddos.

A satisfying end to the series -- lots of action, both physical & intellectual.

Oh, Trenton Lee Stewart… the master of telling, not showing (I meant what I said). The master of cheesiness and rushed or awkward character arcs…
And yet, I love the Mysterious Benedict Society. Even though Reynie was positively SLOW in this one (though inconsistently. But “S” pies taking him so long??? Come on!) I thought it was better than book 2 overall.

i tought it was a well thought out and totally awesome book
