This is my first time reading the Maximum Ride series, and I am loving it. The first book is called The Angel Experiment. It is about a group of kids that were being used as experiments right after birth in a place called "The School". Because of these experiments, the kids are 98% human and 2% bird, meaning they can FLY. Afraid of the children being killed in these horrible labs, a scientist named Jeb Bachledor took the kids home to stay safe. The kids got to name themselves, deciding Max(imum), 14 year old Fang, Iggy, 11 year old Nudge, 8 year old Gazzy (Gasman), and 6 year old Angel. 2 years later, Jeb left the kids unexpectantly. So 14 year old Max has to take care of the "flock" by herself. Then these other lab creatures, called Erasers (half-human, half-wolf) stole Angel and the group has to risk their lives getting her back. What I love about the book is that it is constantly suspenseful and action-packed. There is never a boring scene and is carefully and perfectly plotted. I think that this book should totally be recommended to other kids here because I know that they would love it.
