#1 Map of Flames (The Forgotten Five)

當《X-Men》遇上《Spy Kids》。十五年前，一群擁有超自然能力的罪犯逃離城市，隱居於偏遠島嶼；如今，只留下五個孩子，各自帶著不同能力與未解的身世。當 Birdie 發現一張通往祕密藏匿處的地圖，與一句指引前往城市的留言，五人被迫離開唯一熟悉的世界。他們第一次面對文明、科技與規則，也第一次理解「超能力」在外界意味著危險。故事以明快節奏推進，在追逐與抉擇之間，細膩描寫手足般的情誼與失去後的前行。適合喜愛緊湊情節的讀者。

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.

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.

Then one day Birdie finds a map among her father's things that leads to a secret stash. There is also a note:

Go to Estero, find your mother, and give her the map.

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?
