Rating: - My 7 year old niece loves this book.
I first purchased the entire series for my 7 year old niece in July. She and my 36 year old sister have read a chapter a night. Both love these books. These are good choices for the 7-10 year old crowd and the grown-ups that supervise them.

Rating: - Stereotypical but Entertaining
I read the first and second Benedict Society books as an assignment from a book club I belong to. They weren't my favorite among the "To Read" list, but they did provide for some entertainment.

Rating: - Even better than the first
I enjoyed reading the Mysterious Benedict Society with my 10 year old daughter. We both found this book to be even better. It's full of suspense, humor, and adventure.

Rating: - Another wonderful story to read to your children
About 2 years ago Iread the original Mysterious Benedict Society to my sons and they enjoyed it. Now they are 9 and 10, and I think this sequel was an even better story to share with them. In the original book, there is a series of challenges, puzzles or tests that had to be solved by the protagonists. My boys really enjoyed trying to puzzle these out. After that it was something less of an audience participation mystery. In the Perilous Journey there are clues that Mr. Benedict has hidden for his ... Read More
