*The brilliant and beloved gang from the New York Timesbestselling
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 Timemagazine "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.
