"I loved this book! It's tied closely with the first one as one of the best new children's books that I have read lately. I love the puzzles and riddles. I also love the honest way in which the kids' friendships are portrayed. Constance irritates Sticky, Reynie, and Kate but they let things go because after all, she is only four. I think this book really shows off each character's strengths although I would have loved to see some more puzzles embedded in the story. I really enjoyed the first book for that reason. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a good adventure story."

    " I am not finished with this book but, so far I am enjoying it. The main characters in this book are children between the ages of 4 and 12. Each child is extremly smart and can do incredible things. These "powers" help the kids destroy the ever powerful and demonish Mr.Curtain. His goal is to control the U.S.As population with a machine called the Whisperer. The conflicts are probably the most interesting topics I have ever read about. This book is not your normal fiction story. "

    " I liked constance's poem at the end.She's only two and a half and she can write big poems!!! The ten men are called ten men because they have ten ways of hurting someone.They are always dressed liked regular business men.They carry briefcases .In them are things that a regular business men would have except for the laser pointers.But they are really disguised things that are used for evil.I really liked this book. I gave this book four stars because some of the words are really hard for me. :):);) "
