The Mysterious Benedict Society: The Prisoner's Dilemma

Title: The Mysterious Benedict Society: The Prisoner's Dilemma
Author: Trenton Lee Stewart
Genre: Mystery, Adventure, Comedy

     I personally really enjoyed reading all three of The Mysterious Benedict Society books. They have this way of keeping your attention and weaving an amazing mystery plot at the same time. The story follows four children by the names of Reynie, Sticky, The Great Kate Weather Machine and Constance Contraire. In the Prisoner's Dilemma, the four are trapped in Mr.Benedict's house, as Mr.Curtain is yet again looking for the whisperer, a device which allows the bearer to control the minds of anyone and everyone. One day though, a businessman arrives at the Benedict household, claiming that he is Constance's father. After a confusing discussion, Constance runs away. The Benedict Society follow her, but soon find themselves followed by evil.

     I loved the last installment to the trilogy, absolutely fantastic. A gripping journey around the world, all just to find a four year old girl and stop an evil mad-man from controlling humanity. For all those who love a comedic element splashed together with a wild adventure, this is the book for you. A definite 10/10 from me.
