About The Forgotten Five #5: Operation Chaos
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?

About Monsterious #5: Trapped in the Horror Dome
This series of terrifying standalone tales that combine monsters + mysteries is perfect for fans of Goosebumps.
When their school wins a state science competition, Rowan, Tinker, and Amari earn a dream trip to Earth Two, a biodome research lab deep in the desert, which is sealed off from the outside world. What could be cooler?
But soon, strange things begin to happen. In the dome’s swamp ecosystem, the kids discover a creature unknown to science—though the adults don’t believe them. Then a scientist is mysteriously attacked and Earth Two’s security and life-support systems fail, trapping everyone inside.
As oxygen runs low, a terrifying monster emerges from the shadows and begins to hunt. Now the kids must find a way to escape . . . before the biodome becomes their tomb.
