Maximum Ride: School's Out--Forever by James Patterson

When you are a human avian hybrid, it’s hard to know who you can trust. If you are Maximum Ride, the voice in your head giving instructions on saving the world, a talking dog, and a pack of angry mutant wolves (Erasers) ready to eat you for lunch only add to the stress of being the fourteen-year-old leader of a family of six.

Max and the Flock’s adventures continue as they attempt to discover why they were created, who their real parents are, and how Max is supposed to save the world. The Erasers are always close and seem to be able to track them anywhere. They have also been upgraded and can fly. Can you imagine, flying wolf children? Weird!

Following one ferocious fight, Fang is left critically injured and the Flock has to risk their safety in order to save him. Before Max can give the doctors a full explanation, the FBI swoops in. They aren’t that surprised by the Flock and want to know all the details, but the Flock isn’t ready to trust them. Anne Walker, the head of the agents, takes them back to her perfect country home and for the first time, the group is happy, healthy, and feeling at home. She even enrolls them in school!

But there is something fishy about this school and especially the principal. It isn’t long before Max put the pieces together and discovers that even Anne can’t be trusted. Next stop: Florida and a company named Itex. Thanks to Angel’s mind reading abilities, they’re one step closer to fulfilling Max’s destiny.
