I was such a fan of the first book in this series, The Mysterious Benedict Society, that I squealed like a girl when I found the second and third books were to be released this year. (The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Prisoner's Dilemma will be released in October.)
This book opens on the 1-year anniversary of the group's first adventure. We learn the gang's all settled into their new & improved lives, but each is also excited about a reunion with their friends and mentors.
Unfortunately, before that can happen, someone kidnaps Mr. Benedict and Number 2 - so the vacation that was meant to celebrate their reunion instead becomes a "scavenger hunt" type rescue mission to follow the clues.
Again, the kids are much, much smarter than nearly everyone they meet.
Again, they set off on their own with little or no adult supervision.
And again, their outcome could affect the safety of the entire world.
Again, I loved every minute of it.
