Maximum Ride The Angel Experiment

Maximum Ride:The Angel Experiment is a mad scientist story from the experiment's point of view. Max is a fourteen year-old girl, oldest of her small group of friends that are closer than family to her. Oh, and she and her friends can fly. They are avian/human hybrids who have finally found peace after escaping a secret laboratory known only as the "school". That peace is shattered when another of the lab's successful experiments known as Erasers, human/wolf hybrids, find their sanctuary, destroy it and kidnap one of their number. Max and her friends face adventure after adventure in their quest to rescue Angel, the young girl who was taken, and Max has some difficult calls to make. The Angel Experiment is the first in the Maximum Ride series where Max and her friends must battle against the evil scientists who run the school in order to save the world. This is not your dire, post-apocalyptic novel. Instead, this story is set in the near future, and while the lives of Max and her brood are bleak, at times, there are distinct moments of tenderness, and not a little bit of wise-cracking. These characters will make you love them and root for them as they battle against the "school". The series is literally a thrill ride, pun definitely intended, but in the midst of all the action and adventure there is plenty of humor.
