Rebel Undercover (The Forgotten Five, Book 3) plunges readers into a gripping adventure where Estero City is thrown into chaos following the revelation of President Fuerte's superpowers. Amidst this turmoil, the forgotten five—the heroes who leaked this explosive news—grapple with Cabot's decision to abandon the group to reunite with her parents, who are conspiring with the corrupt president.

Despite the setback, there's crucial work ahead. The Librarian devises a bold strategy: Lada will infiltrate the president's ranks, pretending to be an ally while secretly gathering intelligence for the supernatural resistance.

Loyalties will be severely tested, and alliances will shift as the forgotten five confront their most formidable adversaries yet—their own criminal parents.

In this third instalment of The Forgotten Five middle-grade fantasy/adventure series, New York Times bestselling author of The Unwanteds offers an exhilarating blend of X-Men and Spy Kids-like excitement, capturing the imaginations of young readers.
