Publisher Description
The fearsome foursome is back in the second installment of the New York Times bestselling series praised by Rick Riordan! The Mysterious Benedict Society is up against 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.

"I love this series. They mystery is suspenseful and cleverly solved. I like the characters- they have unique strengths and really must work togehter as a team to be successful. Mr. Curtain is is still at large. I love the vocabulary and the clever writing- not a book dummyed (sp) down for kids."

" A great follow-up to The Mysterious Benedict Society. More adventurous than the last and probably my favorite of the triology. Fun read for kids (and the kid inside us all). "
— Kara, 1/21/2014 -
" I didn't really like this one as much as the first and last ones. It was a bit slow. (Boat sea boat boat nausea boat sea sea). Definitely the worst of the series. And I can't say much else because I read it a really long tome ago. "
— Wolfie, 1/19/2014 -
" So cute and clever. I wish I had read these books when I was a bit younger but I do love them either way. "
— Jourdan, 12/19/2013 -
" A book where the evil schemes are so close to succeeding, but then they come crashing back down to the drawing board. Also very exciting, mysterious, and suspenseful. All in all I enjoyed "The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey," by Trenton Lee Stewart. "

" EVEN BETTER THAN THE 1ST!!!! "
— Jack, 11/27/2013 -
" Seemed a bit more mushy than the first book and just a bit less exciting in general. Also I'd expected, because of the blurb on the back, that the beginning would be sort of like the beginning in the first book, which I adored beyond belief. "
— Ruby, 11/15/2013 -
" Checked out the audiobook from the local library. So far, I am loving it. It is every bit as good and interesting as the first book. I love the four characters and the storyline that is stuffed with puzzles. "
— Marelis, 9/14/2013 -
" I really liked how he made the solutions to the riddles possible to try and figure out alongside the characters. Great writing as well. "
— Kimball, 2/25/2013 -
" This was not nearly as good as the first one. If you really, really, really liked the first book than it's probably worth reading, but otherwise it is just a waste of time. "

— Stacee, 6/2/2012 -
