The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey by Trenton Lee Stewart

lonelyasfranz's review against another edition

3.0

I found the setting of the first book more interesting/entertaining than this. This one hasn’t quite got the charm. Still pretty good, though, setting aside the terrible mistreatment of S.Q.

Doesn't hit the cult classic level of the first, but a remarkable sequel to a series I adored as a kid and continue to read with a warm smile.

Read-aloud with the kids. Solidly enjoyable, but not nearly as compelling as the first in the series.
