The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Riddle of Ages (The Mysterious Benedict Society (4))

It’s been nine years since the last book in the series was published. The great MBS children have returned in The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Riddle of Ages, and Reynie, Sticky, Katie, and Constance are all older and more mature. They have to save Mr. Benedict who is being held hostage by his evil twin brother. They have to break Mr. Benedict out of prison to give him the cure. This book in the series has some new plot twists, new puzzles to solve, and some new characters. One new addition in the story, five-year-old Tai Li, who is an interesting and quirky character. It was really great seeing where the MBS children have been up to now that they are all older. Personally, I liked the previous books in the series more, but this book was still a very fun read. There was a nice plot twist at the end of the book which I enjoyed. Fans of the Mysterious Benedict Society and Escape from Mr. Lemoncello will be delighted by this book.
