The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey Summary Page 107-252


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.
