A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • When San
Francisco is under strange attacks—like earthquakes affecting only two city
blocks at a time—who're you gonna call? An elite team of crime-fighting
underdogs, that's who! The Misfits are on the case in this hilarious series from
Newbery Honoree Lisa Yee and Caldecott Medalist Dan Santat!
“For any kid who’s felt like a misfit, this crackling adventure packs a
wallop!” —Lincoln Peirce, creator of Big Nate
Oof! After solving the case of the Royal Rumpus, Olive Cobin Zang and her elite
team of underdogs are on top of the world. As the awkward, crime-fighting
Misfits, they’re acing every mission thrown at them from NOCK (aka No One Can
Know, the covert agency they work for).
But when their classmate Zeke starts receiving threatening notes, the Misfits
are stumped. They’re no strangers to danger, but this case is a total
head-scratcher. Who would target kind, friendly Zeke . . . unless he’s not what
he seems to be?
At the same time, unusual earthquakes start shaking up San
Francisco just as priceless art goes missing, and the Misfits are called to
investigate. Is it a coincidence that the city is under attack while Zeke is
getting mysterious messages? Or is it all just a cover for a scheme bigger than
any they’ve faced before?
