Review for 'The Misfits: Book 1'

Author: Lisa Yee

Summary: Olive Cobin-Zang is an unremarkable girl. So imagine her surprise when she’s suddenly dropped off at the oddest boarding school ever. A old mansion/prison that’s now a reforming arts school (also known as RASCH)! But when she is put in a group with a group of misfits, she discovers that RASCH is a cover for a group of misfits who fight crime… and Olive has just joined them. It turns out the RASCH is in danger of closing, unless she and the misfits can stop a jewel heist. Can she and her friends save the only school that has welcomed Olive?

Review: This book was very funny which is why I liked it. Each misfit  had their own skill set and unique personality which made the book so interesting to read. There was also a lot of suspense and a huge plot twist which only added on to how much I liked the book. There was also illustrations which helped me visualize the exciting parts. I would recommend this book to kids ages 10 and up for kids who like spys, and mystery. I would also recommend this book for kids who love the Spy School series, or City Spies.
