X-Men meets Oceans Eleven in the first of a commercial 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 supernatural 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.
