About this ebook

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.

Ratings and reviews

This book had so much potential, considering how good the first book was, but it dropped the ball. The plot was not as interesting or mysterious as the first book's. Despite that, it was fun and worth the read.

After reading the first book I didn't think any of the sequels would've topped it but this one was just as good. I like it a lot because it has even more adventure in this book than the first book.

I love the whole thing. They don't call it The Perilous Journey for nothing.
