Luanne Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 They are releasing a new one in this series called The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Prisoner's Dilemma. I own the first two already. I've read the first one (as has my daughter) and we both need to read the second one before the new one comes out. I know the first one was REALLY good. Anyone else read these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornblower Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Thanks for the heads up! Ds has the first 2. I know he'll want the 3rd :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibraryLover Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 We still haven't finished the first. It's our night read aloud, and those chapters are long for mommy and daddy at the end of a day. If she reads to us, we fall right asleep. lol We're almost done. I think we need to switch the day/night read alouds for now. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestof3 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I love them as does my son, Nathan. I've already pre-ordered my copy from amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hen Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 yes, I've read them, I really enjoyed them, thanks for the heads up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crissy Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Thanks for the tip, Luanne. My boys loved the first two, but we didn't know a third was on the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary in NJ Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Our family has read the first two books. We just LOVE them! Thanks for the heads up on a third book coming out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AprilTN Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 We've read the first one, and working on the second. Love them! Thanks for the heads up about the 3rd book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangermom Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Oh, my 9yo will be thrilled, she loves these books. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 My dd loves these! I haven't read them, so thanks for telling me they are ok--I was feeling a little guilty, not having reviewed them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen500 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 My kids loved the first two. Ds wrote a letter to the author and was sooo pleased to get a response! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Atl Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Wahoooooo... adding it to my wish list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blessedwithboys Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 My boys and I have read both books and really enjoyed them. There is also a website with additional games and puzzles. I look forward to reading the third book when it comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian (a lady) Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I read the first one and thought it was one of the freshest, most creative books I'd read in ages. My kids have read the first two. A pre-order of the third was one of my son's b-day presents. He's reread the earlier books just so he's ready when it comes in the mail. I figure that it will come and I won't see him again for a day or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristineinKS Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 My kids have not read the books yet (we'll be starting on them after we finish our current read aloud next week), but I have and absolutely *loved* them. We've got the new book pre-ordered and are going to a book reading/signing with the author next month. I can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in NH Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 we did the first two as a read aloud, and I guess the 3rd one will be too! We will probably cancel school for the day just to read it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestof3 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Yes, I stayed up until 1 am reading that darn book and got through the second one in two days. I love them but it is terrible for the next day when I am a walking zombie! I am really excited to hear that there is another one coming. I had the first one in audio format, and I would just keep driving around the neighborhood so I could keep listening. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestof3 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Forget reviewing them, read them for yourself! Finally an author with a fresh idea. :iagree: Reading these books made me realize how much I really love children's books. I was just so drawn to these, and as an educator find them so fresh -- I love the different learning styles and the whole finding other children to relate to when you're different.

Rhonda in TX Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I haven't read the second, but DD enjoyed it. She'll definitely want the latest. Thanks for the info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiegirl Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 We love this series! We have read the first two but will have to wait until the next one comes out in paperback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
