A Copycat Conundrum (The Misfits)

The Misfits, Book 2

De: Lisa Yee

Narrado por: Cindy Kay

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!

“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?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Readers are treated to a whirl of revelations and golden discoveries, and throughout they’ll be swept along, both by the breathlessly paced developments and by the individually awkward but collectively unstoppable team leading the racially diverse cast....Nonstop action, delivered with a wink." —Kirkus Reviews

"[A]n old-fashioned adventure tale with a pleasingly complicated mystery and a tremendously likable cast of sleuths." —The Horn Book

Just as fun as the first book

These books are pure fun escapism with wonderful characters and gadgets and plots. There’s also some good stuff in there about friendship and growing up, but I mostly just read them because they’re such a great and well -written escape from reality.

So clever!

This is the second book in the Misfit series. It was funny, draws the reader in, and I learned interesting facts about San Francisco and Oakland. It’s a must read!
