The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey Summary Page 108-440
Milligan is watching the Ten Men who are standing near the boat
house that what they will do. Milligan decide that he'll go there and clear the
way (knock the Ten Men down). That's because there's people inside the boat
house and they know about where Mr. Benedict is. The children is going to help
by waiting until Milligan get the Ten Men away and they'll go inside the boat
house to talk to the people. Milligan deceived the Ten Men to follow him to the
other way. The then children went inside that boat house and saw a guy name
Risker (he's the grandson of Han de Reizeger). Risker won't tell the children
easily. But at last he tells the children where Mr. Benedict is and what Mr.
Benedict says. Milligan was in front of the boat house when the children came
out. Milligan arrange the plane for them to go to the island. So the children
fly to the island.
After the children and Milligan reached the island, they discuss
where to go next according to the clue Mr. Benedict left them. Milligan found
many chimes that could make a pattern out of it. Constance connects it together
and makes a pattern. It's a map. There's a dotted line which represent a mode
code. Sticky figures out the message which is the clue that they need to go to
the village to find another clue. The children's me Milligan went into a village
and trying the find the clue. Reynie found a house which is clean like someone sweeps
it before. Then the children's and Milligan comes inside and see many can food
and blankets. After they've eaten they try to search for clues. Later they
found the clue; Number Two comes into the house and found the children and
Milligan. After discussing the plan and trying to ask Number Two about the
place where she escapes, she doesn’t really answer.
Milligan went out to check out something and come back with the
answer of the "twin moon" (which is related to the clue). So Sticky
and Constance will look after Number Two and watch out the Ten Men while
Milligan, Kate, and Reynie will go and look at the twin moon. After some time
the children gets together to the house. Then the children take turns look over
the house. Sticky closed his eyes and when he opens again, the Ten Men was down
on the house. The children ran to hide but then the Ten Men caught them. When
the children are brought to the place where Mr. Benedict is, they try to help
Mr. Benedict and get out of this place. The children try to escape. They fought
with the Ten Men and then try to escape.
All of the sudden, Milligan came out from nowhere and help the
children to get out by fighting the Ten Men. Later, Mr. Curtain appears and tricks
the children. But luckily Milligan was there. As they climb the mountain to
escape, Mr. Benedict sleeps due to his narcolepsy. So the
children help carry Mr. Benedict out of the mountain while Milligan is fighting
with the Ten Men. After getting out of the mountain and Mr. Benedict woke up,
they found Milligan who is extremely injured. They all ran to the bay and was
surrounded by the Ten Men. But just in time, the Shortcut and the crew come to
save them. So all of them went into the Shortcut ship and hide form the Ten
Men. Just in that time, the Ten Men plants a bomb and then Kate went in and throws
the bomb away. The Ten Men and Mr. Curtain run away. So after this all ends,
the children and everyone went to Mr. Benedict’s home safely without any
troubles.

The children were waiting in the room waiting
for Captain Noland to come and so Constance remember the
conversation about her and Mr. Benedict about the "gift" she
had. The gift if Constance is somehow like a reading if minds and can
predict things by pattern. Before they could ask more about Constance's new
gift, Captain Noland comes in and greets the children. Captain Noland said that he
talked to Mr. Benedict and telling that he on the way to Lisbon. Captain Noland said that Mr. Benedict
leave the letter to him for the surprise he made for the children. He will give
the letter later he said.
The
children were happy to know they could track Mr. Benedict and Number Two. Not for long, Cannonball comes in
and called Captain Noland for some emergency situation. So Captain Noland went out and so the children
continue discuss about Constance's new gift. Constance said it's some kind of
psychic. After
talking for a long while, all of the children sleep except for Kate who is always hyper. After a long long time Reynie
wakes up and Kate showed the letter that Captain Noland gave her while all of
the rest are sleeping.
It's
kind of a riddle that talks about sticky castle. After Reynie reads them, Captain
Noland comes in and brings the kids' supper. Reynie let sticky read and he
said that the castle is in Lisbon. Captain Noland said that he will
arrange the taxi so that they can go when they reach the port. After they talked for so long
Captain Noland suggest that everyone should go to sleep. Then everyone slept.
Next morning after the children
reach the port, Cannonball went to the castle with the children while Captain Noland
needs to do his business with his guests first. After Cannonball and the kids
reach the castle, Cannonball said that he needs to go help Captain Noland about 1-2
hrs and he'll be back. The children go and search for where the letter is
telling but then they saw Jackson (Mr. Curtain's trusted executive) and that
make the children stop and hide from him for a while. While they are hiding, Reynie
read the letter again to figure out the clue. Reynie then found the answer the
next clue is on under the cannons that is 10 meters far away from them. Kate
said she'll be the one will get the envelop clue without letting Jackson spot
her. Everything works fine except when she's coming back there's a lady who
wants Kate to take picture with them. Kate refuses and walks away but then
Jillson (Jackson executive partner) spotted her and so Jillson followed her. The
children run away and get out of the castle and read the clue. They figure out
that the clue told them to go to the train and open locker number
"37" and get another clue there. The children went to get the clue
and try to figure out the clue. Then they figured out that the clue is talking
about Constance's pendant. As they look at the crystal on the pendant, they see
Holland map and a red mark which is on a place called Thernbaakagen. The
children get a train to get there. The children ride the train to go to Thernbaakagen. Reynie
said it’s better to drop at Naansemegen and go to Thernbaakagen by other
ways because maybe there're Mr. Curtain's people waiting to catch them. The
children went down at Naansemegen and rent a bike to get to Thernbaakagen.
After they get to Thernbaakagen
they went straight to the science museum. They went to the top floor to the
library and meet a librarian named Sophie. She's a nice woman and helps them
find the papers they need. After reading the papers (in Dutch) Sticky explains
to them about the papers. The papers were about Mr. Benedict’s parents that
have the same narcolepsy (the disease of sleeping anytime without the person
knowing) and they are finding the way to cure it. There's this plant that
Han de Reizeger (Mr. Benedict’s parent friend) found which can cure the disease
which is called "Duskwort". It's a very rare plant that many people
said it’s already extinct. There's a map but it's gone from the papers. Then
there's this man called Mr. Schuyler who came and then he tells about what
happen. Mr. Benedict come here with number two and ask for the map but Mr.
Schuyler don't let so Mr. Benedict need to get it himself then he
returned. That same afternoon Mr. Curtain and his executives came back and ask
for a photocopy of the map. After the children know that Mr. Benedict is
heading to the island (from the map) with Mr. Curtain following, so the
children is going to go to the island.
The children traveled by bike
and entered the city. The children spot some unusual man and woman, so Reynie
went to talk to them. The man answer and tell them the riddle that Mr. Benedict
leave for them to see whether it’s the children or some other people who will
get the key hotel After solve the riddle, the children went in the hotel and
enter the room. While the children are on their way, Daatje (the woman that was
with the man that tells the riddle) called the Ten Men (Mr. Curtain executive
that is following the children) that the children are in the hotel. The
children went in and found another envelop with money and told them to rest. Reynie
suspect Daatje will take the money but she didn't so he realize that she called
the Ten Men and tell where they are. The children are going to escape but it's
too late. The Ten Men comes in the room and ask for the paper but then Kate
went in and fought with them. The Ten Men fought back and then warn them to
give them the paper. Then Milligan came in and knock the Ten Men down. Milligan
leads down the way to escape them tell everyone to get into the police that he
had rented before and they went off. They stop at the abandoned warehouse. They
discussed about how they will go the island.

The children and their guardians, including Rhoda, were discussing about the rules in the house that children shouldn’t talk or discuss anything with anyone except for Rhoda and Milligan. After finishing their discussion, Rhoda gave the children the “surprise” or the riddle that Mr. Benetic had made to give to the children for their surprise (but sadly, Mr. Benetic was kidnapped). After their discussion and the giving of the riddle, the children went up to Constance’s room to discuss about the things that is happening and decide that they should solve the riddle and go to find Mr. Benetic themselves not with others (or else Mr. Curtain’s group will find them out). Reynie opens the riddle that Rhoda gave them awhile ago, and the riddle is a poem which makes no sense at all. Kate and Constance complain the poem is very hard to understand.
Not long after that Reynie figured it out that it should be in some of the dictionaries. The children went to search all over the house. They can do it fast from the help of sticky that he can remember most of where the dictionaries are. After they search and search there’s this guard who just speak out about the old dictionary that Mr. Benetic as using. So the children want to see that dictionary but then the guards won’t let them in the study room. So the children went back to Constance’s bedroom to find a way to get into the study room.
Then at the time, Sticky saw that Moocho is coming to visit Kate but the he is having a problem with the guards down there. While Moocho is having the problem with the guards, that buys time for the kids to go into the study room and get the dictionary. Kate wet off first and has the dictionary in her hand without anyone seeing her. They all went back to Constance’ bedroom and open the pages of the dictionary one by one. As Reynie opens the dictionary page by page, there’s a notes. As they read it, Constance figures out the riddle which is “TAKE THE SHORTCUT”. While they are thinking about what shortcut it is, Rhonda called hem down to talk to Moocho. After they have talked to Moocho, they came back to Constance’s bedroom and think about the shortcut.
At that moment, Sticky remembers the article in the newspaper about the cargo ship…MV shortcut. The kids need to head to the dock. So then they use the chute from Kate and Reynie writes note to the guardians and Rhoda. The kids took the bus to the dock. There’s this guy in the dock that named Canonball. He welcomed them and led them to the ship. After the kids meet the captain, Cannonball offer them a tour. The kids tour around the ship for a long time.
