NOVL – Series Page – Maximum Ride
Maximum Ride and her “flock,” Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman and Angel, are ordinary kids—only they have wings and can fly. It may seem like a dream come true to some, but while they’re on the run from the “School” that cruelly experimented on them, their lives can morph into a nightmare at any time.
When Angel, the youngest member of the flock, is kidnapped and taken back to the School, her friends set off to rescue her, facing off against the half-human, half-wolf “Erasers” designed to stop them. Their journey takes them closer and closer to the secrets of their past … and their future—one where Max is responsible for saving the world.

In this eagerly awaited follow-up, brave bird-kid Max and her flock are discovered by an FBI agent and forced to go to “school.” There is no such thing as an ordinary day as Max deciphers how and when she’s supposed to save the world, and she faces her greatest enemy–a clone of herself.
Brace yourself for the flight of your life in James Patterson’s New York Times #1 bestselling as Max’s quest to save the world comes to a rip-roaring climax.
In Maximum Ride: Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports, the time has arrived for Max and her winged Flock to face their ultimate enemy and discover their original purpose: to defeat the takeover of “Re-evolution”, a sinister experiment to re-engineer a select population into a scientifically superior master race … and to terminate the rest. Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman, and Angel have always worked together to defeat the forces working against them—but can they save the world when they are torn apart, living in hiding and captivity, halfway across the globe from one another?

The expedition seems like a perfect combination of adventure, activism-and escaping government forces who watch the Flock like a hawk.
