The Mysterious Benedict society

As I approach the end of the book, time is running out for Reynie, Sticky, Kate, and Constance. The situation gets so risky and out of control that Mr. Benedict decides to take the children off the island. They resist, however, and stay on. Recently they have learned that Mr. Curtain, who is in charge of the Learning Institute for the very Enlightened, and is where they are doing there secret spying, has a big thought in mind. He is going to cause a huge problem, an Amnesia epidemic, and only he will be able to resolve the issue with people. He will use minesweepers and whisperers for this process, which Reynie and Sticky have had experience with one of the two, the whiperer. Time is running out, less that 3 days remains, but it's possible that their plan might work. If Reynie and Sticky can get their messaging session early, they Kate and Constance will be able to sneak up to the whispering gallery, while the boys are having their sessions. They will simply destroy the whisperer. If all goes well, it will be un-operational.
Just a note on the characters. Reynie, is a smart boy, who does exceedingly well on everything. Sticky, is slightly shy, but remembers everything he sees, hears, learns, etc. He also does very well on everything. (this is why there are the ones who are messengers.) Kate and Constance, therefor, aren't messengers. Kate is very creative and carries a bucket with her at all times, Constance is rather rude and complains often. She doesn't get along too well with everyone, but she manages it. Another neat thing is that Mr. Curtain is identically looking to Mr. Benedict.
