Maximum Ride

Maximum Ride. A teenage girl with 98% human DNA and 2% avian DNA. A girl with wings. And super-human strength. Oh, and don't forget she has weird powers. Plus, there are five other bird kids just like her. Well, maybe not just like her. Because Max is destined to save the world. Let me introduce you to the flock: Max, the leader; Fang, her second in command; Iggy, who's blind; Nudge, Little Miss Chatterbox; the Gasman (don't ask); and Angel who can be a creepy mastermind or, well... down-right angelic. They grew up in dog cages in a place called the School where mad scientists (that's right mad scientists) did experiments on them Ever since they escaped the School they've been hiding away. But suddenly, the mad scientists and their minions, other experiments called Erasers (part-wolf, part-human), came across the flock's safehouse. After that it's a wild goose chase (no pun intended) for the Erasers. Until Angel is captured and taken back to the School.

If you pick up this book out of boredom or randomness... be ready for the ride of your life. It is fast-moving and intense. Perfect for any reader with a wild imagination and sense of adventure. Also, there are four more books in the series to read after you're done with this one and they're all just as good. If I could change one thing about these books it would be the ending of the most recent edition to the series Fang: A Maximum Ride novel. Luckily, Mr. Patterson has hinted that the series is not over (YAY!) and the next book might be called Angel.
