- Even Better Than Its Predecessor
In the second book of "The Mysterious Benedict Society" series, Stewart has given his four remarkably clever orphans families. However, this does not mean the adventure is over for Reynie, Sticky, Constance, and Kate. In an effort to keep the children challenged and connected, Nicholas Benedict arranges for them to embark on a new quest that unfortunately goes awry at the hands of the evil Mr. Curtain.

I really liked the whole scaveger hunt idea and traveling the world instead of just their little town was cool too.
