Bookroo's summary

The misfits, known for their daring missions, face their biggest challenge yet at the North Pole. With Christmas at risk, they must uncover the truth behind the broken toys and stolen candy canes. Is a legendary mountain monster to blame, or is there another culprit? As Santa's workshop teeters on the brink of chaos, the misfits race against time to save the holiday. Will they crack the case and ensure Christmas joy for all?

From the publisher

After a few successful missions, the misfits have made quite a name for themselves! This time, their help is requested by a very special VIP. Can they find out who the candy cane culprit is? After how well they did helping a leprechaun, trolls, and a cyclops during their last few assignments, the misfits are tapped for another mission! And not just any mission, but a top-secret one for a very special someone. This time, they’re headed to the North Pole! Santa is dismayed because toys are being broken and candy canes are being stolen every night. The elves tell them of a local legend who they think is responsible: a great, big monster that roams the mountain, but Santa is not so sure. All he knows is that they’re in danger of not having enough toys in time for Christmas! Will the misfits be able to crack the case and save Christmas?
