A case with several troubling clues

The Misfits’ latest assignment brings together two puzzling threads: threatening notes sent to their classmate Zeke and a wave of unusual earthquakes in San Francisco, alongside the disappearance of priceless art. The team’s work for the covert agency NOCK gives the investigation an action-adventure framework, while the questions around Zeke add a personal mystery to the citywide case. The description sets up a story about weighing apparent connections and figuring out whether separate incidents point to a larger scheme.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Ages 9–12 interested in action-adventure fiction
  • Readers who enjoy crime-solving teams and mysteries
  • Those looking for a continuation of the Misfits series

Book overview

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?
