The Mysterious Benedict Society 3: The Prisoner's Dilemma

The four children comprising the Mysterious Benedict Society are back, daredevil Kate with her resourcefulness, cheerfulness and red bucket, Sticky with his capacious brain, Reynie and Constance, the hypeintelligent four year old.  Shut away in hiding from the brilliant Mr Benedict's dangerous genius brother Ledrophtha Curtain and his terrifying henchmen the Ten Men they are terribly bored, until Curtain attacks and they are thrown into another breakneck adventure.

Not, for me, quite as good as the first one due to the need to do a bit of explaining over the first few chapters, but still a great ride.
