I have finished the book The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart. This is one of my favorite books that I have read so far. It is very, very exciting and addicting! I could not go a day without reading some of this book! :) :) :)
Kate decided to go and try to turn off the whisperer. If the whisperer was turned off then Mr. Curtain couldn't brain sweep anyone and their would be no more messages She sneaks around and takes many risky moves. When she gets to where the whisperer is she sees that it is well guarded and there was no way of getting to the whisperer. Some of the messengers see her and she gets chased. She escapes in the nick of time! She goes back to the other children to tell them the bad news. The next day everybody heard about Kate. They didn't know that it was her that was sneaking around (phew!). She was safe (for now).
The children decided that if they can't turn off the whisperer, then they would have to wait for Reynie and Sticky to have their turn in the whisperer. The problem is that it's their turn on the whisperer in months. They don't have months. They have a couple days! The children decide to make all of the other messengers sick, but not them. This way, the messengers that have their turn on the whisperer would be sick so that they can't have their turn until later. It was the perfect plan. The children sneak disgusting, gross things (that would make you sick) into all of the food.
The messengers saw Milligan wondering in the fields and assumed that he was the spy. Milligan says that he was the spy, even though he isn't. He tried to protect that children!
The children's plan worked! Reynie and Sticky got to go to the waiting room early because everyone else was sick. Reynie and Sticky had to resist the whisperer as much as they could.
Kate and Constance were in their room and they got a Mores Code message. The message said that Reynie and Sticky were with Mr. Curtain. Kate and Constance had to move fast if they wanted to stop Mr. Curtain and his plan. They started to run towards the tower where the whisperer and Reynie and Sticky were. As they were running over to Reynie and Sticky, they get caught! They keep running hoping that they will make it! They almost get there when the messengers catch up and start to fight with them! Just then, Milligan shows up and gets rid of the messengers. There was something different about Milligan. He was smiling, but there was something else that Kate noticed. Milligan was her father!!!! Her father left her when she was little, and she didn't know why. It turns out that Milligan got kidnapped and brain swept! Kate now knows what happened to her father!
Kate Milligan, and Constance get up to where Reynie and Sticky were. They capture Mr. Curtain with the help of Mr. Benedict. Everything is fixed! The children's work was done!!!!!!!!
The children and everybody else gets back home and eats a BIG dinner. Mr. Benedict brings out a birthday cake and gives it to Constance. The next day was her birthday! Reynie, Kate, and Sticky look at the cake and see that there are only three candles on it. They figure out that Constance is actually two years old and is turning three!
Reynie is adopted by Miss. Perumal. Constance is adopted by Mr. Benedict. Kate know has a father again. Everything turns out okay! The children's mission is complete! (until they get another one!)
I have many questions about this story. One of them is what happened to Mr. Curtain? This book never really explains what happens to him. All that this book says is that the government was looking for him. I hope that he gets caught! :)
A connection that I have with this story is about how Kate finds out that Milligan is her father. This is kind of like how in Star Wars Luke Skywalker finds out that Darth Vader is his father! Luke had no idea that Darth Vader was his father. This is like how Kate didn't know that Milligan was her father!
I predict that Mr. Curtain will end up to become a good person. I think this because in a lot of books the bad person turns out to become good in the end.
I very much enjoyed this book. I think that Trenton Lee Stewart (the author) did a fantastic job writing this book. I think that he did a good job making the book very suspenseful. He makes me want to NEVER stop reading it!!! The only thing that I didn't like about this book is that it ends! I could keep reading this book forever. My favorite part of this book in the beginning when the children think that Mr. Curtain and Mr. Benedict are the same person! This is my favorite part because it made me start to wonder if the children had been tricked! The main character in this book is Reynie. If he were a real person, I would probably be friends with him! I would be friends with him because he always knows what to do! I could always ask his advice, and he would tell me a great answer.
