Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment

Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment by James Patterson  [YA fiction]

by Meghan, age 12

“Do not put this book down. I’m dead serious- your life could depend on it. I’m risking everything by telling you- but you need to know. -Max”  Her full name is Maximum Ride. She’s 98% human. The other 2%? Bird. Yes, bird. And she can fly. After escaping a horrible “school”, she and the rest of her gang, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, the Gasman, and Angel settled in a small house in the mountains. What is the “School”? It’s a secret facility in Arizona. Scientists, or “whitecoats” as Max calls them, mix human and animal genes to make half animal half human freaks. Max and the gang lived there all their lives- stuck in cages, no parents, and always being tested- that is, until they escaped. Now back in the school, captured by fierce Erasers (half wolf, half human), that’s when Max finds her destiny- she has to save the world.
