Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment

by James Patterson

Summary: Ninety-eight percent human, two percent bird. Max and her "flock," five other kids, all live together after being genetically engineered with bird DNA. They have wings and can fly, and also each have their own special powers. They're being chased by Erasers, kids who have been engineered with wolf DNA. They're trying to kill Max and her flock. When Angel, the youngest, is captured and returned to the lab, Max and the others have a fast-paced and terrifying adventure trying to save her.

My thoughts: The Angel Experiment is the first in the wildly popular Maximum Ride series. James Patterson normally writes for adults, and has had many of his novels, such as Along Came a Spider, made into movies. These books are really, really fast reads. Each chapter is not more than a page or two, and even though they're short, they almost all end with a little cliffhanger, pushing you on to the next chapter. Great for guys and girls who don't like to read!
