X-Men meets Spy Kids in the fifth installment of The Forgotten Five middle-grade fantasy/adventure series by the New York Times bestselling author of The Unwanteds.

X-Men meets Spy Kids in the fifth installment of The Forgotten Five middle-grade fantasy/adventure series by the New York Times bestselling author of The Unwanteds.

The Forgotten Five and their friends are reeling in the aftermath of the raid on Magdalia Palacio's campaign rally—an attack masterminded by her corrupt opponent President Fuerte and his henchmen. Birdie is in the hospital with a head injury, and under arrest for stealing a police horse in her attempt to evade capture. Separated from her friends—and not even allowed to see her mother—how can Birdie escape when she is utterly alone? 

Then the Librarian is taken captive in the heavily guarded palace dungeon after Fuerte discovers she's been acting as a double agent. What will they do without their trusted mentor?

Luckily, the five have been honing their supernatural abilities, and it's Brix who takes the lead, forging an unlikely alliance and putting together a plan. Does the group have what it takes to rescue their friends and even the odds in the president's all-out war against Estero's supernaturals?

Praise for Operation Chaos (The Forgotten Five, Book 5)

Praise for Map of Flames (The Forgotten Five, Book One):
A New York Times Bestseller
An Indie Bestseller

"Middle graders seeking a new twist on science fiction and superpower heroism will find this fast-paced first installment the answer to their search." —School Library Journal

"Entertaining and meaningful." —Booklist

“Lisa McMann is a unique talent who creates richly imagined worlds where children discover hidden talents, overcome insurmountable challenges, and learn to live with both hope and loss.” —Brightly

"Supernaturally cool." —Kirkus Reviews

Praise for The Invisible Spy (The Forgotten Five, Book Two):
"Packs in a whole lot of espionage fun and poignant family drama . . . This follow-up delivers the goods." —Kirkus Reviews

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

Praise for Rebel Undercover (The Forgotten Five, Book Three):
"Boisterous superpower hijinks and lighthearted espionage with dabs of engrossing familial melodrama . . . [McMann] does a fine job of maintaining high stakes as the plots get knottier and the twists even dizzier . . . Fantastically silly fun!" —Kirkus Reviews
