Maximum Ride: School’s Out Forever
by James Patterson
Picture this: Six model-material kids from ages 6-14. They’re tall, thin, and really physically fit.The wind’s blowing their hair back and, honestly, they look famous, or at least superheroish. Every kid’s dream, right? Now image the picture zooming out- they’re really flying. Not in a plane, not because they’re hang-gliding, but with wings: real, large, beautiful wings that they were made to have. About that made part- this is where the dream becomes a nightmare. Raised in test-tubes and later in dog crates, the six of these “Avian Americans” (as they prefer to be called), and one black Scottish Terrier Avian American that talks (that’s right, a flying, talking dog) have escaped the School (read the first book) and have soared through America. On their way, they battle newly made mutants and many more things that want to kill them, picking up more new and exciting “talents” along the way. Yeah, on top of the flying part. Grab hold onto Max, Fang, Iggy, the Gasman, or Angel and fly into this book (although it’d be easier if you started from the first one).
