It’s been a year now since the members of the Mysterious Benedict Society prevented the assimilation of the world to Ledroptha Curtain, the evil twin of Nicholas Benedict. The members-Reynie, Sticky, Kate and Constance- have all gone their separate ways. They are now though, called back to the house in Stonetown for a special surprise for their one year anniversary. They arrive though, to find the house swarming with federal agents. Once inside they learn that their beloved Mr. Benedict and his assistant Number Two have been kidnapped by Mr. Curtain. Amiss the chaos of the house, the children reluctantly decide to sneak away to save their friends on their own despite the traces of trauma lingering within them from their last mission. They follow the clues left by their friends on an international scavenger hunt. They have no idea that they are embarking on the most perilous journey yet. With new twists like Sticky’s growing sense of pride Constance’s new found abilities and Kate’s brewing vengeance, this book will keep you guessing about the story and the characters as they all find within them, a new self.

I strongly recommend this book to all readers who have read the first one. In this sequel, the author gets more in-depth with the characters and more creative with the plot. He also ties the most insignificant details to the larger plot so pay attention! Don’t forget to check stores for the third book: The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Prisoner’s Delemma.
