About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their child begins to question the fallibility of authority figures or feels torn between group loyalty and personal ethics. This third installment in The Forgotten Five series follows a group of supernatural teens who must go undercover to expose a corrupt political regime, even though that regime is led by their own parents. It explores heavy themes of betrayal, the weight of keeping secrets, and the difficulty of defining one's own identity when your legacy is tied to 'villains.' While the action is fast paced and entertaining for kids aged 8 to 12, the underlying emotional value lies in how it models the process of discerning who is truly trustworthy. It is an excellent choice for kids who enjoy high stakes adventure but are also ready to grapple with the idea that the world is not always divided into simple heroes and villains.
