Part of Series
X-Men meets Oceans Eleven in the new middle-grade series from the New York Times bestselling author, Lisa McMann (The Unwanteds). Thirteen years ago, eight supernatural criminals fled the city of Estero to make a new life in an isolated tropical hideout. Off the grid, the missing criminals were presumed dead—but that wasn't really the case. Until recently, when the last one died. Left behind alone on the island are their children: There's Birdie, who can communicate with animals. Brix has athletic and healing abilities. Cabot is super-smart, but there's no sign yet of her special ability. Seven's skin camouflages to match whatever is around him. Tenner can swim like a fish and has heightened senses, including the ability to see in the dark. When Birdie finds a map with a set of instructions directing her to a stash of treasure that's secret from everyone—including their missing parents—she knows it holds the power to change everything, for better or worse.
