Map of Flames (the Forgotten Five, Book 1) -- Lisa McMann

<b><i>X-Men</i> meets <i>Spy Kids</i> in this instant <i>New York Times</i> bestseller! Here's the first book in a new middle-grade fantasy/adventure series from the author<i> </i>of<i> </i>The Unwanteds.</b> <p/>Fifteen years ago, eight supernatural criminals fled Estero City to make a new life in an isolated tropical hideout. Over time, seven of them disappeared without a trace, presumed captured or killed. And now, the remaining one has died. <p/>Left behind to fend for themselves are the criminals' five children, each with superpowers of their own: Birdie can communicate with animals. Brix has athletic abilities and can heal quickly. Tenner can swim like a fish and can see in the dark and hear from a distance. Seven's skin camouflages to match whatever is around him. Cabot hasn't shown signs of any unusual power--yet. <p/>Then one day Birdie finds a map among her father's things that leads to a secret stash. There is also a note: <p/><i>Go to Estero, find your mother, and give her the map.</i> <p/>The five have lived their entire lives in isolation. What would it mean to follow the map to a strange world full of things they've only heard about, like cell phones, cars, and electricity? A world where, thanks to their parents, being supernatural is a crime?<br><br><b>Author:</b> Lisa McMann<br><b>Publisher:</b> G.P.
