the Society Is Back. In The Months Since Their Daring Rescue Of Mr. Benedict And Number Two In The Mysterious Benedict Society And The Perilous Journey (megan Tingley Books/little, Brown, 2008/voya April 2008), The Foursome Have Been Kept Under Protective Lock And Key. Evil Mr. Curtain And His Treacherous Ten Men Are Still On The Lam, Whereabouts Unknown, And No One Is Safe. When Word Comes That The Whisperer Is To Be Moved Out Of Mr. Benedict's Control, They Know That Mr. Curtain Will Strike Again. Will Reynie, Kate, Sticky, And Constance Be Ready When He Does? As With The Other Series Books, Readers Receive Both An Adventurous Ride And A Heart-warming Story Of Friendship And Family. The Characters Continue To Learn More About Themselves And Each Other, Discovering New Strengths, Facing Weaknesses, And Grappling With The Tensions Of So Much Time Spent Together And Fears That They Will Go Their Separate Ways Soon. They Also Maneuver Through Riddles, Puzzles, Traps, And Other Dangerous Feats Of Body And Mind That Will Keep Young Teens Greedily Turning The Pages To See How The Story Plays Out. This Third Adventure Builds Slowly But Spends Less Time Filling In Back Story And Does Not Try So Hard To Explain Everything. Yet There Is Still Enough History For Readers Unfamiliar With The Series To Dive Right In. Although Some Of The Foreshadowing Is Still Heavy-handed, Most Readers Will Be Too Caught Up In The Story To Care. Reviewer: Cheryl French

"Are you a gifted child looking for special opportunities?" Dozens of children respond to this peculiar ad in the newspaper and are then put through a series of mind-bending tests, which readers take along with them. Only four children--two boys and two girls--succeed. Their challenge: to go on a secret mission that only the most intelligent and inventive children could complete. To accomplish it they will have to go undercover at the Learning Institute for the Very Enlightened, where the only rule is that there are no rules. But what they'll find in the hidden underground tunnels of the school is more than your average school supplies. So, if you're gifted, creative, or happen to know Morse Code, they could probably use your help.
