About this listen

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.

Critic reviews

"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)

Overall a big thumbs up

I really liked this series and have probably listened to or read all 4 books at least twenty times and if there was a fifth one I would be quite enthusiastic.To agree with another review I have read, it would be entertaining to read a new series devoted too the two new characters with some input from the older but still awesome characters creating some good nostalgia for the other readers.

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

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.
