The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey

Both of my kids adored the first Mysterious Benedict Society book so they clamored to have me read them this one, the second, as soon as possible. Luckily enough, Nana & Pop supplied us with a copy. This story takes up a year after the events of the first story. The four kids of the MBS are reunited for what promises to be a fun surprise from Mr. Benedict only to find that Mr. Benedict and Number Two have been abducted by Mr. Curtain and his minions. So it's a rescue mission. I read about a chapter per night to the kids (about 30 minutes of reading) and they were always clamoring for me to read more. Naturally they're keen to read the third book in the series. Good thing a little bird told me that Luke will get it soon as a birthday present.
