Novel Study: The Misfits - A Royal Conundrum

Introducing an exciting novel study based on The Misfits a Royal Conundrum by Lisa Yee!

Olive Cobin Zang has . . . issues. And they mostly aren’t her fault. (No, really!) Though she often slips under the radar, problems have a knack for finding her. So, imagine her doubts when she’s suddenly dropped off at the strangest boarding school ever: a former castle turned prison that's now a “reforming arts school”!

But nothing could’ve prepared Olive for RASCH (not “rash”). There, she’s lumped with a team of other kids who never quite fit in, and discovers that the academy isn’t what it seems—and neither is she. In fact, RASCH is a cover for an elite group of misfits who fight crime . . . and Olive has arrived just in time.

Turns out that RASCH is in danger of closing, unless Olive’s class can stop the heist of the century. And as Olive falls in love with this wacky school, she realizes it’s up to her new team to save the only home that’s ever welcomed them.

Why We ❤️ Novel Studies:

Our novel studies are printable companion workbooks to popular novels that you can purchase in stores or borrow at your local library. We love them because they promote critical thinking, build vocabulary, and help students develop important language arts skills while reading an amazing book!

Our novel studies aren’t like textbooks, and that’s on purpose.

Instead, they were developed by a certified teacher and created to:

• Highlight diverse and inclusive books written by Black and other authors of color.

• Provide fun and educational activities that complement the book and deepen understanding of the story

• Develop critical thinking skills by pushing students to analyze themes and issues presented in the book.

• Spark important discussions and allow students to express their perspectives.

• Strengthen writing skills through extensive practice.

• Provide multimedia enrichment to engage students and extend learning.

Plus, our novel studies are easy-to-use (no additional prep required!), digital resources that can be printed at home 📚.

They can be used as an educational supplement or combined with our other novel studies to create a complete Language Arts curriculum!

We also give 25% of each purchase to mutual aid 🫶🏾.
