When there are suspicious sightings around the bay (ghosts?! a sea monster?!)—who're you gonna call? An elite team of crime-fighting underdogs, that's who! The Misfits are on the case in the hilarious follow-up to the beloved New York Times bestseller!

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES. When there are suspicious sightings around the bay (ghosts?! a sea monster?!)—who're you gonna call? An elite team of crime-fighting underdogs, that's who! The Misfits are on the case in the 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! When reports of ghosts arise around an abandoned lighthouse, Olive and her elite team of underdogs are immediately thrust into a brand new case. After all, ghosts don't exist... right?

Real or not, the ghosts draw quite a crowd at Olive's beloved Reforming Arts School, or RASCH (not "rash"). Turns out everyone wants a glimpse of the ghosts, including... the nearby marine life?!

Between RASCH's ghosts and newfound tourism, rumours soon spiral out of control about a sea monster in the bay—snagging unwanted attention from a corrupt mogul. What is going on at RASCH? Does the mythical creature really exist, and can the Misfits save it from being captured? The team will have to dive deep to get to the bottom of San Francisco's most legendary mystery...

For other Misfit adventures, don't miss The Misfits #1: A Royal Conundrum and The Misfits #2: A Copycat Conundrum!

About the Author

Lisa Yee has taken a private-investigator course, and it's slightly possible that she's a secret undercover operative. She's also the New York Times bestselling author of The Misfits, as well as a Newbery Honoree and a National Book Award finalist for Maizy Chen's Last Chance. Some of her other twenty-one novels are the groundbreaking Millicent Min, Girl Genius; Stanford Wong Flunks Big-Time; and the DC Super Hero Girls series. A frequent contributor to NPR's Books We Love, she divides her time between Western Massachusetts and Los Angeles. Dan Santat is a #1 New York Times bestselling author and illustrator of over a hundred books. His picture book The Adventures of Beekle- The Unimaginary Friend received the Caldecott Medal. He also illustrated The Blur, Lift, and Drawn Together, both written by Minh La, which received critical acclaim. Dan is also the creator of the Disney animated hit The Replacements. He lives in Southern California with his family.
