    NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES • Wait . . . did someone accidentally call the Mix-fits? What's a team of crime-fighting underdogs to do when nefarious dopplegangers are out to take them down? The Misfits are back 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

    After solving the case of the San Francisco Sea Monster, the Misfits are pros at madcap mysteries. That is, until a sunny jaunt to the city makes them think they’re seeing double—but no, it’s not a fun house mirror. Somehow, they’re seeing other versions of . . . themselves?!

    Enter: The Mix-fits. They’re older, badder, and honestly, just straight-up confusing. What are they up to? Why copy the unassuming, totally awkward Misfits of all people? And what do they have to do with the disappearing bees all over San Francisco?

    The Misfits know that their teenaged doppelgangers are up to no good. Now, they just have to prove it. Can they stop these mysterious newcomers before their own reputation is ruined?

    For other Misfit adventures, don't miss A Royal Conundrum, A Copycat Conundrum, and A Sea Monster Conundrum!
