The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey by Trenton Lee Stewart
5.0
The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey is the continuing adventures of four rather extraordinary children. Reynie, Sticky, Kate, and Constance are back and in more danger than ever in this thrilling sequel. Mr. Benedict arranges a wonderful surprise for them, but is kidnapped by his evil twin brother, Ledroptha Curtain, before he can give it to them. Just like that their happy reunion is turned into a race to follow the clues Mr. Benedict has left for them and rescue him before it's too late.
It's rare that a sequel lives up to its predecessor, but The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey does just that. Trenton Lee Stewart's writing is intriguing and clever, and his characters are even more so. I loved getting deeper into Reynie, Sticky, Kate, and especially Constance. The adventures were just as mysterious, just as addictive, and just as much fun to read. Now that the second book in this series has so exceeded my expectations, I can't wait to read the next!
