A Copycat Conundrum (The Misfits)

A Copycat Conundrum is the second book in //The Misfits// series, which follows a group of highly intellectual kids who fight crime and solve mysteries. In this story, they are working on solving the mystery of their friend Zeke’s great-great-grandfather’s imprisonment for his boat of gold, which had gone missing many years ago. Zeke is receiving threatening messages to stop his family tree research, and it will take nothing less than The Misfits to get to the bottom of this historical event.

Reading the first story, A Royal Conundrum, around a year ago got me excited to read the next; however, sadly, I struggled to get the same enjoyment from this book. The storyline was more difficult for me to understand, making me feel confused by the time I got done because I had to have missed critical revealing pieces of the story. Hopefully, other readers will understand better; this book can be a standalone, as the author gives reminders of events in the first book and reexplains the meaning of essential things, or it works as a sequel because it provides further details about characters. The story makes you wonder how deep you want to dive into your family history.
