Everyone wants to fly, right? Well, what if you could? What if you had wings?
Maximum Ride does. Her and five other children and teens were taken from their parents when they were babies, and experimented on by (literally) mad scientists. Complete with avian bones and fully-functioning wings, they’re able to fly. But that’s not all; they also have strange powers.
Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, and (appropriately) Angel have escaped from the scientists who have tortured them for so long, and with the kind father-like Jeb gone, they’re on their own. And the scientists are still looking for them. Things go disastrous when the Erasers, half-wolf half-humans, kidnap the youngest of the bird-kids, Angel, and it all goes downhill from there! Meanwhile, Max struggles with her own problems, such as the mysterious Voice in her head, and her growing feelings for Fang.
Maximum Ride is one of my favorite series’, right up there with Harry Potter and Lemony Snicket. (I used to be so obsessed I wore feathers in my hair to ballet class!) You’ll love all the characters, even dark, quiet Fang and the extremely talkative Nudge. Max narrates the books, and Fang keeps a blog, telling snippets of their story. You can even read it online!
The first in the series is The Angel Experiment, followed by School’s Out Forever, Saving The World And Other Extreme Sports, and, the most recent, The Final Warning. The fifth book, MAX, is set to be released March this year, and a movie for 2010. Author James Patterson has written many popular series’, including Women’s Murder Club, Alex Cross, and Daniel X.
