The ending reveals frustratingly few answers, leaving layers of mystery for the sequel. Is it a friend or the flock’s betrayer? Short chapters and paragraphs are smoothly accessible Max’s easy-to-read voice alternates between immediate and sardonic. Max develops shattering headaches and a Voice in her head that crashes nearby computers and tells her to save the world. Crossing the country first to save their youngest from the School’s scientific sadists and then track down their histories (were they born from parents or test tubes?), they wind up in New York City’s sewers. “Erasers” (violent genetic combinations of men and wolves) pursue them at every turn. Max and her flock are genetic experiments: 98% human with 2% avian genes grafted on, they’re super-powerful-and can fly. Fourteen-year-old Max (full name Maximum Ride) and her “flock” have escaped from a horrific School that kept them in cages and tortured them in the name of scientific research. 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.Nonstop action carries this page-turner breathlessly from start to finish. 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. 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. 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. Fourteen-year-old Maximum Ride, better known as Max, knows what it's like to soar above the world.
