In this second in the Explorer's Club series Sam has been kidnapped, and Evie and Kate are determined to find him and another member of the Filipendulous Five, Benedict. The book alternates chapters from Sam's point of view and Evie's. Both kids have outrageous adventures including a shark and a K-Pop boy's band, but somehow (spoiler alert) manage to find each other and the next clue in the mystery of Evie's lost grandfather.The plot line of this book is pretty darn random, but I enjoyed reading just the same. There is a lot of humor, a lot of action, but the thing I like best is watching the kids face their fears. The scene with the K-Pop boy's band was especially well crafted. It had me grinning from ear to ear. It made me wonder if the author had experience standing in front of an audience of thousands of screaming fans. The series is far from over and this one was fun enough I will probably keep reading. Give this to kids who liked the Mysterious Benedict Society. (2018, 371 p.)
