In James Patterson's blockbuster series, fourteen-year-old Maximum Ride, better known as Max, knows what it's like to soar above the world. She and all the members of the "flock"--Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman and Angel--are just like ordinary kids--only they have wings and can fly. It may seem like a dream come true to some, but their lives can morph into a living nightmare at any time...like when Angel, the youngest member of the flock, is kidnapped and taken back to the "School" where she and the others were experimented on by a crew of wack jobs. Her friends brave a journey to blazing hot Death Valley, CA, to save Angel, but soon enough, they find themselves in yet another nightmare--this one involving fighting off the half-human, half-wolf "Erasers" in New York City. Whether in the treetops of Central Park or in the bowels of the Manhattan subway system, Max and her adopted family take the ride of their lives. Along the way Max discovers from her old friend and father-figure Jeb--now her betrayed and greatest enemy--that her purpose is save the world--but can she?

I loved this book, and have read the whole series. I recommend this book for avid fifth or fourth grade readers

If you like the hunger games and such, this is a great book for you! It is a book about A 14 year old experiment and her "Flock. Her name is Maximum Ride. The flock's names are Fang, Iggy (Who is blind),Angel,(A Cute 6 year old with mind-reading Powers)The Gasman(A really adorable 8-Yo Who passes gas a lot, and LOVES to blow stuff up) and Nudge. It is fairly long but is amazing. After you read this, Maximum ride: School's Out- Forever is the 2nd book.

Maximum Ride is a seriously good paranormal fiction book. it's about these kids that were engineered in an evil lab called the School so they have 2% avivan (bird) genes. It's really, really funny and fast-paced. It's pretty long, but you can get through it quickly. You won't be able to put it down! :) --E., (Skypainter)

My other review: This book is really really good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's about six kids who are genetically engineered in a lab to have 2% avian genes so they can fly! It's about them surviving the "Erasers," half-wolf, half-human creatures. This book is fast paced and has LOTS of action. I loved it! --E., (Skypainter)
