Resumen del Editor

The brilliant and beloved gang from the New York Times best-selling series is back!

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 listeners will fall in love with these irresistible adventures.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Chases, narrow squeaks, hastily revised stratagems, and heroic exploits that culminate in a characteristically byzantine whirl of climactic twists, triumphs, and revelations... Clever as ever." (Kirkus Reviews)

"The Mysterious Benedict Society is back! The cast has aged, but the criminal contingency, amped-up action, and derring-do remain the same. Now teenagers, bright-bulb Reynie, intrepid Kate, and Sticky, he of the photographic memory, have the biggest fight ever on their hands. All of the bad guys from previous books (a baker's dozen of them) have returned with revenge on their minds and nefarious plans in their pockets, along with all sorts of instruments of evil. Also in attendance is the ever-contrary Constance Contraire... A welcome return full of the right stuff. (Booklist, starred review)

A very full review

Book great reader not so great but still a recommend audiobook almost better than the first book

“Spectacular”

This book is amazing for all ages.
The story is wonderful, but Eric Pollins didn’t do such a good job.

Wonderful!

I was surprised to see another story and immediately preordered this book. I enjoyed it so much. What happened to Del Roy? He was a great narrator. Eric Pollins did well but sounded a bit strained. Can Constance be less angry and more relaxed and pleasant? You would think that with all the love she has in her life now that her personality would greatly improve. These stories are very imaginative and enjoyable. I wish there were more mystery stories like these. I love humorous mystery stories with no foul language and profanity and no smut. Thank you for such creative and enjoyable stories.

LOVE THE SERIES!!!!!!!!

The only reason I gave the performance four stars is because I don't understand why they would make the narrator different than all the other books! Even the "Mysterious Education of Nicholas Benedict" is read by del Roy! Any way, for the whole book? I think I'd give it more like a million stars. Thank you so much!!!!

It was entertaining and I love the idea of hearing about them when they’re older

Nothing that I disliked

Amazing Creative Entertaining
The idea of forming a story when they’re older is just super creative and I love it

The thoughts of Nicholas Fernandez

This is an amazing addition to the trilogy of that is The mysterious Benedict society. I love all of these books and it’s been quite the ride. I first got in to them when listen to the very first mysterious Benedict society in a friends car and loved them ever since. I love the characters the world there in and the way that Trenton lee Stewart writes. It’s like I’m right there with them. I will say if you were a fan of the previous books then you will love this new one I won’t spoil but the way Trenton Lee has rounded out these characters personalities is truly poetic and heartfelt. Now the only reason I gave the performance 4 starts instead of 5 is because I grew up listening to Del Roy and he is and always will be the the true mr. Benedict, McCracken and mr. Curtin. I hope you found this review enjoyable and worth your time. God bless

Pretty good…

I liked the narrator a lot but i also liked del roy he died😔 but overall a really good book!

Different narrator

The book was good but not as good as the previous ones and the new narrator took getting used to. I also struggled to enjoy the addition of their new young friend. I felt like the way they talked to him and related to him, now being older themselves, made the book a bit challenging to enjoy. Like it didn’t fit with the other books at all.

I hate when I get to the end!

the storytelling of these books is so good I just don't want it to end. I wish there were more. and it doesn't matter what age you are as its wonderful for all ages. and clean too!

great!

amazing book! I loved it couldn't be better I loved it!
so so great! loved it!
