Synopsis
Book 4 of 4 in the Mysterious Benedict Society series. 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.Mindful Muslim Review
The brilliant, talented, and hardworking foursome are growing up and looking at diverging personal paths that will mean the end of the Society and their communal life with their families. Reynie has the choice of a dozen top universities, Sticky has the opportunity to lead the research at one of the top science labs in the country, and Kate is training to be an elite secret agent. As the four work together to prevent a Mr. Curtain’s jailbreak, they increasingly appreciate the value of their community and friends. At the end of the book, with the criminals captured and everyone safely home, every individual in the society finds a way to continue their growth, learning, and careers while still living in Stonetown and thereby preserving their community.
