X-Men meets Spy Kids in the thrilling second installment in The Forgotten Five fantasy/adventure series that began with the instant New York Times bestseller 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 that began with the New York Times and Indie bestseller Map of Flames 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.

      The Forgotten Five--a ragtag team of youths with unique superpowers--partner with new allies to take down President Fuerte and his sinister plot that implicates the kids' criminal parents. Overnight, news of a daring escape by supers from the president's palace spreads across Estero. Hiding from palace guards for their role in the breakout, Birdie, Seven, Tenner, Cabot, and Brix find refuge in an underground maze and, eventually, in a monastery. Much-needed support comes from former Estero spy The Librarian and Lada, a young super with cerebral palsy who uses crutches and a wheelchair. They help train and prepare the five friends for the fight ahead. The team's first mission? To figure out what's up with President Fuerte, the man behind Estero's anti-super fervor, as rumors abound of his nightly excursions abroad for clandestine meetups with supernaturals and to plan more thefts. Then he inexplicably repeals the anti-super laws. It also seems that some of the Five's parents have covertly joined forces with the president. Resuming right from the end of Map of Flames (2022), this volume 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 the goods. Characters have a range of skin tones. A spy-flavored romp. (Fantasy. 8-12)
