Product Description

X-Men meets Spy Kids in the thrilling second installment in The Forgotten Five fantasy/adventure series that began with Map of Flames.

The forgotten five have made it to Estero to search for their missing supernatural criminal parents. With the help of their new allies, Lada and The Librarian, they've managed to find Birdie and Brix's mother, Elena, and free her from captivity in the presidential palace. Now the president's henchmen are searching everywhere for the children who broke out Elena, driving the group into hiding in the ancient underground tunnels beneath the city.

Meanwhile, President Fuerte is making headlines for his nighttime flights to other countries accompanied by an invisible man. But why would the president who outlawed supernaturals be working with the people he supposedly hates? And could it be that some of the five's own parents are helping him?

The fantasy adventure continues as the five join the fight against the oppression of supernaturals in Estero, face off against an unexpected enemy, and undertake a new mission that will put all of their abilities—and their loyalties—to the test.

Review

"Packs in a whole lot of espionage fun and poignant family drama. McMann's exploration of the Five's conflicting feelings over their parents' intentions works marvelously to stir an adventure that's more of a gut punch than its predecessor. A bundle of shocking, slightly zany plot twists and political intrigue, this follow-up delivers." - Kirkus Reviews

"Part X-Men, part spy story, this is a fantastical adventure series." - Brightly

An Angry Man

President Daniel Fuerte sat at his cluttered desk in the presidential office on the top floor of the Magdalia Palace. The morning sunshine reflected off the gold frame of a recently stolen painting on the wall. The glare gave him a mild headache after the long night. His face was haggard and his jaw unshaven, but his shiny black hair edged with gray at his temples appeared freshly groomed. He'd dozed on the plane ride back from Estero's neighboring country, but he hadn't slept enough, and he was ready to retire to his room for a few hours. When his desk phone rang, he sighed and picked it up. "Fuerte."

A panicked voice greeted him. "Dad, I'm down in the dungeon. There's been a break-in overnight."

"What?" Fuerte's eyes widened. His daughter, Sabine, ran his secret Supernatural Locator and Recruitment Operation in the palace control room. She also managed the guards—and their captive, Elena Golden.

"The place is trashed, and they took Elena."

"What? No. She's gone?" Fuerte leaned back in his leather-and-mahogany chair, his jaw clenching and unclenching. He pumped his fist against his forehead a couple times, then slammed it on the desk. "How?" he demanded. "We've got guards everywhere! There's an iron fence surrounding us, for crying out loud!" He muttered some unsavory words under his breath.

"Security and staff are being questioned," Sabine went on. "After Elena was freed, they locked the on-duty officer inside the cell. He says it was done by . . . children. And something about a pig?"

"I'm waiting to hear more about that."

Fuerte's face darkened. "Didn't you take care of those two kids the oth"
