MAP OF FLAMES

Lisa McMann

X-Men meets Oceans Eleven in the first of a commercial new middle-grade duology 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.
Now left behind on the island are their children, each with different supernatural abilities.

When one finds a map with a set of instructions directing them 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.

Lisa McMann is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of dozens of books like The Unwanteds series and the Wake trilogy. She is married to fellow writer and musician, Matt McMann, and they have two adult children--her son is artist Kilian McMann and her daughter is actor Kennedy McMann. Lisa spends most of her time in Arizona, California, and Vancouver BC, and loves to cook, read, and watch reality TV.
