Reynie is living a
peaceful life with his friends, Kate, Sticky, and Constance. Reynie loves this
peaceful life, but some of his friends would rather have some adventure in
their lives. However, whether they like it or not, danger will come, and it
will come quickly.
The Mysterious Benedict
Society and the Perilous Journey is set in a busy port town called Stonetown right after the
Institute is abandoned. The Institute is a place in the first book of the
series, The Mysterious Benedict Society. Suddenly, the man who brought
them all together, is held hostage and his captor, his evil twin brother, is
searching for the most powerful plant in the world. If he finds it, the world
will be doomed. Their only hope is a string of clues lead to an island where
the person they are trying to save is. Constance, Kate, Reynie, and Sticky,
follow the clues and will ultimately try to save the world.
One reason why I liked
this book is because there are multiple main characters that are all unique
with different talents and gifts. In the first book of the series, The
Mysterious Benedict Society, they are brought together by a man who knows
their gifts and wants them to help him solve a mystery. In the story they
reunite to find a missing person.Their gifts range from being very agile and
able to get out of difficult situations to having lots of knowledge. Everyone
needs to work together for the rescue mission to succeed.
Another reason I liked
this book was because it was a blend of genres and contained science fiction,
adventure, and mystery. It also was realistic enough to make sense, but not
realistic enough to seem like it could happen in real life. Instead of clues
that would lead to other clues and eventually lead to a remote island where a
surprise party was planned, the person who planned the surprise party is held
hostage at that island. His captor knows that he has information that could
lead him to an extremely powerful plant. The friends need to find him and help
him escape from that island before it is too late.
I would rank this book a
10/10. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a mystery or likes an
adventure. It is a mystery that leads the main characters from one place to
another while also having codes, mysterious clues, and hidden messages. Overall,
this was an amazing read!
