![]() ![]() Unfortunately for them, though not for us, there are lots of interruptions, all of which will keep readers riveted from paragraph one. Max and her flock set out on a rescue mission, which, if there are no interruptions, will span 600 miles and 7 hours of flying time. When Max’s nightly nightmare of being discovered by Erasers comes true one morning, Angel is kidnapped and brought back to the School. They look human, but can morph at will into fanged and bloodthirsty wolf men. The scientists have developed another mutant group, part human, part wolf, called Erasers. The six kids were bred by scientists who, as an experiment, grafted avian DNA onto their human genes, and kept them in cages in a science lab/prison called the School. ![]() Maximum Ride is Max’s full name, and she lives with her close-knit “family.” They may not be related to her by blood, but the six of them-Fang, 14 Iggy, 14 and blind Nudge, 11 the Gasman, 8 and his little sister, Angel, 6-have spent the past four years hiding out at a house high in the mountains. “Welcome to our nightmare,” she says in her Prologue to the first book in the electric Maximum Ride series. For the narrator, 14-year-old Max, it’s no dream. Many kids daydream about having wings and being able to soar across the sky. ![]()
