A New York Times Bestseller! By the author of The Mysterious
Benedict Society, this heart-pounding mystery adventure is laced
with magic and humor. When Reuben discovers an extraordinary
antique watch with a secret power, his life takes an intriguing
turn. As one secret leads to another, Reuben finds himself torn
between his honest nature and the lure to be a hero. Now he is on a
dangerous adventure--full of curious characters, treacherous traps,
and hairsbreadth escapes--as he races to solve the mystery before
it is too late. With fearless Penny, mighty Jack, and the wise Mrs.
Genevieve on his side, can Reuben outwit a sly villain called The
Smoke and save the city from a terrible fate? In this ingeniously
crafted novel, acclaimed author Trenton Lee Stewart invites readers
to join the adventure, decipher the clues, and ask themselves the
question: Is knowing a secret a gift or a curse?
Dozens of children respond to this peculiar ad in the newspaper and
are then put through a series of mind-bending tests, which readers
take along with them. Only four children-two boys and two
girls-succeed. Their challenge: to go on a secret mission that only
the most intelligent and inventive children could complete. To
accomplish it they will have to go undercover at the Learning
Institute for the Very Enlightened, where the only rule is that
there are no rules. But what they'll find in the hidden underground
tunnels of the school is more than your average school supplies.
So, if you're gifted, creative, or happen to know Morse Code, they
could probably use your help.
Join the Mysterious Benedict Society as Reynie, Kate, Sticky, and
Constance embark on a daring new adventure that threatens to force
them apart from their families, friends, and even each other. When
an unexplained blackout engulfs Stonetown, the foursome must
unravel clues relating to a nefarious new plot, while their search
for answers brings them closer to danger than ever before.
Filled with page-turning action and mind-bending brain teasers,
this wildly inventive journey is sure to delight.
