About this ebook

Discover the high-octane start to James Patterson’s New York Times #1 bestselling, phenomenal MAXIMUM RIDE series!

Maximum Ride and her "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.

Angel, the youngest member of the flock, is kidnapped and taken back to the "School" where she and the others were cruelly experimented on. Her friends brave a journey to blazing hot Death Valley, CA, to save Angel, but soon enough, they find themselves in yet another nightmare: 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 that her purpose is save the world. But can she?

Love Maximum Ride? Don’t miss out on the seven novels of the Maximum Ride series, and her next chapter in Hawk and Hawk: City of the Dead!

What I believe the theme of this book is that you do not have to be related by blood to be a family. Throughout the story, Maximum Ride, Iggy, Fang, Gasman, and Nudge all risk their lives and go to extremes to save their friend Angel whom they consider to be a sister. All of them live together as a family and will do anything for the others safety just like a family. What the author did well throughout the story is show how much Max, Fang, Nudge, Iggy and the Gasman care about Angel because of the extremities they go to to save Angel and the emotion and care they show for her and eachother which represents that of a family. Some things I don't like about the book is the coloquiality of the book and how the author tries a bit too hard to related to young readers. I do know some people that the book could relate to in terms of vocabulary like the vocabulary and narrative that Max gives throughout the book but in my case, the vocabulary does not relate to me and I wouldn't mind if the book were more proffesional in the case of Max's first-person point of view throughout Max's parts throughout the story. I would recommend this book for those who like books in a series such as Cirque Du Freak, Twilight, and Night Runner but not for those who wish to expand their vocabulary through reading because of the coloquiality of the majority of the book and the reading level of the book.

This book is great for young readers and people who like mystery! This was my independant book for school and I had to read it durring all my classes because I could not stop. If your a person who does not like reading this is the book for you, This book is told in 3rd person which means that the main charicter (Maxium Ride) tells the story. The book ends in a myistirious whay so you would have to get the seccond book "SCHOOLS OUT --- FOREVER" !!!!!!
