Misfits of Blue Moon

Eliza Monkton just can't seem to catch a break.

Not only have her parents separated, but Eliza has to move to the small town of Blue Moon with her mother and little brother...while leaving her father behind. She also has a fourth grade teacher who seems to hate her, and no one wants to be her friend.

But all that changes when she is sent to Mrs. Peach's classroom. There, Eliza gets a chance to be her inquisitive self in a special program called "GAT." She also meets a group of older students with unusual interests-including one with a collection of vacuum cleaners and another obsessed with the color red.

When Eliza and her fellow misfits learn that the man who built Mrs. Peach's house disappeared without a trace, they decide to take on this mysterious cold case. No one else has solved the mystery, but maybe they can...even if Mrs. Peach's house is a little spooky.

Author S. B. Hibbard gives young readers a treat with this middle-grade mystery novel centered around a group of students with exceptional abilities.

And while they solve the mystery, they discover that being different isn't always a bad thing
