sternbergjulie's review against another edition
5.0
THE MYSTERIOUS BENEDICT SOCIETY AND THE PERILOUS JOURNEY, manages, miraculously, to be even better than its excellent predecessor (THE MYSTERIOUS BENEDICT SOCIETY). The sequel has the same strengths as the original -- four heroes, two boys and two girls, who are unusual and likable; compelling villains; adventures galore; a nice message or two; and writing with scarcely a false note. The sequel is also a tiny bit less over-the-top than the original. But if you're looking for a realistic read, neither book is for you.

I found the writing and characterization in this one a little clumsier than in the previous volume, but my love for Constance Contraire overcomes a lot of it. And it was a page-turner! I couldn't put it down!
