Five friends in a quiet Irish town investigate an old cabin in the woods, leading to an encounter with a honey badger and the apprehension of criminals. Strong characterization, snappy dialogue, and lots of action define this engaging middle-grade mystery. The characters' backstories are revealed slowly, adding depth to the high jinks and making readers hope for more adventures with the Misfits Club.

Twelve-year-old Noah Murphy is determined to help his family financially and further his soccer dream by playing in the Schools' World Cup. Falsely accused of fighting and banned from his school team, Noah, with help from his friends, hatches a plan to enter the tournament with a new team. Set in Ireland, the story hooks readers through its humor, sports action, and cast of well-developed characters.
