*The brilliant and beloved gang from the New York Times bestselling
series is back -- and ready to face new threats, dangerous dilemmas, and
irresistible adventures.
***The Mysterious Benedict Society is a modern classic, drawing
comparisons to J.K. Rowling and Roald Dahl, named a Time magazine
"Best Young Adult Book of All Time," and selling over three million
copies. Some time has passed since the inimitable quartet of Reynie,
Sticky, Kate, and Constance have had a mission together. But with the
arrival of a new Society member -- and a new threat -- they must reunite
to face dilemmas more dangerous than ever before, including the
villainous Mr. Curtain and a telepathic enemy tracking their every move,
not to mention a dramatically preteen Constance.
In its triumphant return, the Society encounters all new challenges, but
the series' trademark sly humor, sweet camaraderie, hairsbreadth
escapes, and mind-bending puzzles are all as engaging as ever. Fans of
the series will be thrilled to see the Society has grown up a little
with them, while a new generation of readers will fall in love with this
irresistible series.
