Book Description

Publication Date: April 1, 2007 | Grade Level: 5 and up
Fourteen-year-old Maximum Ride and the other members of the “Flock”–Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman and Angel–are just like ordinary kids–only they have wings and can fly. It seems like a dream come true–except that they’re being hunted by half-human, half-wolf “Erasers” who can fly, too.

In Book 2 of the series, the Flock members are taken under the wing of an FBI agent and try to live “normal” lives by going to school, making friends–and continuing their relentless search for their parents. But the Erasers return, forcing the Flock to abandon their search and make their escape once again. The voice inside Max’s head keeps telling her that it’s up to her to save the world, but this is especially challenging to do when she is faced with her ultimate match: a newer and better version of herself, Maximum Ride II. Max’s heart-stopping quest to investigate the mind-blowing mystery of her ultimate destiny continues in the scariest, strangest, and funniest James Patterson novel yet.

MY THOUGHTS
LOVED IT

So Max and the other kids are on the run and when a mishap occurs, they are forced to take Fang to the hospital and it become evident that he is not human, especially when bird DNA shows up in tests.  They are also a bit closer as to finding out why the group of kids have been genetically modified.  The FBI shows up at the hospital and the race is on to find their birth parents and to get some answers.  At least Anne, the FBI agent is sympathetic and tries to help them, or at least the kids think.  The group is then on the run again and I am not sure if they have been distracted or lied to.  This is a super exciting installment and now I am really looking forward to the next in the series.  

Be sure to stop by every Friday until the release of NEVERMORE and the conclusion of the series.  I will be featuring the graphic novels as well with a few more giveaways sprinkled in!
