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?

This book was really exciting! It may not look like what it is though. It's go suprizes in every chapter (every chapters like 2 pages) I'm not kidding! Don't give up just on the beginning, it's kinda boring compared to the rest of the book.

Maximum Ride is her real name, but her friends call her Max. She is the oldest so she takes care of them, but is that all she has to do? So good, had me crack up in some parts. Definitely for a person who likes humor and action. Also, read the Manga for it too. I do not have School's Out- Forever yet, sorry.

THIS BOOK IS AMAZING THEY FIGHT MONSTERS AND FIGHT BAD PEOPLE AND THEY STICK TOGETHER>>>>>>>>>>> I"M AMAZING and this book is too]

loved these books!!!!!!!!! This whole series is about max and her family who are basically lab rats who are 98% human and 2% bird. read them all!!!

I recommend this whole series. Then go see the movie next year when it comes out. Also, It is a really good book!!!!!

I luv this book read it if you can it has action, mysery, romance, humor and more!

i have read this book twice and i still cant get enough of it!! :p

It is long, 134 chapters. Good thing the chapters are short. Shortest are maybe 2-3 pages long. It good so far.

1st one is boring but read on they get much better. by the way this is the 1st one! FLY ON!

This book was really amazing. The protagonist, Max is a really good character who makes the book really interesting. This book is adventurous and romantic at the same time. This is a great book for any english project because it has a really good vocabulary and it is a very good and exciting story. I recommend this to anyone who loves an adventure!
