A fun frolicking read. Olive goes to a special boarding school in San Francisco and is soon paired up in a pod with 4 other kids to secretly fight crime. Each of the members of the Misfits has a particular set of skills. When a giant school fundraiser brings a wealthy woman wearing an extremely valuable necklace, it seems a certain setup to get the Bling King and his ring to attempt to steal the jewels.
Olive and the group are called into action to set things right and save their school.
