A little less than half a year since the four children of the Mysterious Benedict Society have seen one another, Mr. Benedict calls them together for a second mission. But while their first mission sought to stop the power-hungry Mr. Curtain, this mission will allow the children to enjoy themselves on an international scavenger hunt set up by Mr. Benedict. That’s the plan, at any rate.<\/p>\n
But when Mr. Benedict is kidnapped, the Society begins a more dangerous mission–escaping the many protective (or not so protective) adults around them in order to rescue Mr. Benedict.<\/p>\n
The perilous journey will send the children racing through Mr. Benedict’s scavenger hunt, trying to find him before it’s too late. <\/p>\n
Like most sequels of truly superlative books, The Perilous Journey<\/i> is a bit of a letdown. Not because it’s terrible, nor even because it’s mediocre, but because it’s simply “good”. The Perilous Journey<\/i> is interesting, engaging, and thought-provoking–just not as much so as The Mysterious Benedict Society<\/i>.<\/p>\n
If you read and enjoyed The Mysterious Benedict Society<\/i> and tend to like young adult fiction, you’ll still enjoy this one. If you’re not generally a fan of young adult fiction, no need to worry about missing this one (but give the first in the series a try!) <\/p>\n
