The book that I am featuring this week is the first book in a wonderful series by James Patterson. The Maximum Ride series grabbed my attention way back when. I just discovered that the ninth and final book in this series was published in May 2015. I haven't read them all but they are on my TBR list. I love the books that I did read.
Good luck and be sure to stop back next week!
The Angel Experiment
The Angel Experiment by James Patterson
Series: Maximum Ride #1
Mass Market Paperback, 413 pages
Published May 2006 by Time Warner Book Group
From the bestselling author James Patterson comes the stunning, breathtaking start to the blockbuster series!
Six unforgettable kids — with no families, no homes — are running for their lives. Max Ride and her best friends have the ability to fly. And that's just the beginning of their amazing powers. But they don't know where they come from, who's hunting them, why they are different from all other humans... and if they're meant to save mankind — or destroy it.
Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, the Gasman, and Angel. Six kids who are pretty normal in most ways—except that they're 98 percent human, 2 percent bird. They grew up in a lab, living like rats in cages, but now they're free. Aside, of course, from the fact that they're prime prey for Erasers - wicked wolflike creatures with a taste for flying humans.
