Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment by James Patterson

Maximum Ride, Max for short, and her 5 brothers and sisters are unique. It’s not the fact that they are orphaned and homeless. It isn’t the fact that they don’t know who they can trust or how they will find their next meal. It’s not even the fact that they aren’t all biological siblings.

You see, “The Flock”, Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, the Gasman, and Angel, are special. They look and act like normal humans but they have extraordinary abilities like mind reading, voice imitation, super strength, and raptor vision. That’s right, I said raptor vision, as in they possess excellent and incredible sight from far, high distances. And they are called “The Flock” because while they are human, 98% to be exact, they have been implanted with avian (READ: bird) DNA.

Yes, they have wings and can fly. And while having the ability to soar through the air might be fun, when you are on the run from hungry Erasers, part human part wolf killing machines, you can’t give much thought to anything but survival.

Join Max and the Flock on their first mission, rescuing one of their own, putting themselves in harm’s way, even returning to the School, the awful setting of their creation, all while trying to stay alive. Are you up for a wild ride?
