A Maximum Ride Novel
James Patterson
Little Brown
2011
Maximum Ride, A.K.A Max, is a kick butt character fighting to survive. Paterson’s Angel made me jealous because she isn’t afraid of anything or anyone, except losing her flock, and to top it all off, she can fly!
Max has wings. Before she was born they took the egg and crossed it with some bird DNA. She isn’t the only one who has been crossed with bird DNA. There are five others, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy (also called Gasman for unfortunate reasons), and Angel. They don’t just have wings they have special powers: Max can fly super-fast, Fang can blend in with the tree, Iggy can feel colors, Nudge can attract objects to her, Gazzy can imitate people and sound just like them, and Angel can do lots of things: she can change figures, breathe under water, read minds, send thoughts, and talk to animals.
Before you read this book, I would recommend reading the first seven books. It is easy to catch up with what’s happening, but read the first seven books, please. It will be easier, and it’ll give you a chance to fall in love with the characters.Reviewed by Miranda 7th Grade
