Fierce teen Maximum Ride takes flight to discover the truth about the mysterious genetic experiments that gave her and her friends wings, in the high-octane start to James Patterson’s #1 New York Times bestselling series! “One of the best storytellers of our time.” ―Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson, the world's most popular YouTuber Maximum Ride and her “flock,” Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman and Angel, are ordinary kids―only they have wings and can fly. It may seem like a dream come true to some, but while they’re on the run from the “School” that cruelly experimented on them, their lives can morph into a nightmare at any time. When Angel, the youngest member of the flock, is kidnapped and taken back to the School, her friends set off to rescue her, facing off against the half-human, half-wolf “Erasers” designed to stop them. Their journey takes them closer and closer to the secrets of their past ... and their future―one where Max is responsible for saving the world. Love Maximum Ride?

Review: My students' perspective - My [...] class read Maximum Ride and really enjoyed it. As a final test I had the students write a book review. Here are two. 1. Jazz: Maximum Ride is a thrilling and entertaining book that makes you keep reading. It is fun to read and has great characters. You will love to read this book. It is appropriate for most kids. Younger kids might have trouble with the smaller print. It is a family-fun packed adventure that everyone will love. You will have fun reading it and won't want to put it down. The characters of Maximum Ride make the book fun and entertaining to read. The main characters are Max, Iggy, Fang, Nudge, Gasman, Angel, the Erasers (wolf-morphing men), and White Coats (scientists). It all started when the White Coats kept all the children in the Lab. In the Lab the white coats were mean to the kids. Jeb, one of the white coats, who was like a father to the kids, helped them escape the lab. Max, is the leader of the "flock". She is very brave and is thirteen years old. Gasman and Angel are the only two kids related. Angel is the youngest of the group and can also read minds. Erasers are after her and she is called Subject 11. You will have to read the book to find out what happens with that problem. Gasman has a weird obsession with bombs. He likes to make them and play with them. Iggy is blind, but has great hearing, especially when he is flying. Nudge will speak up when she has something to say and is always ready to go when she hears about a problem. Fang is quiet, but tells it like it is. All these characters have a big impact on the book. They make the book better and fun to read. I hope you read Maximum Ride and like it as much as I did. 2. Haley: Imagine yourself running from your worst enemy, but instead of running you're soaring through the air. This a typical day in the life of Max. Max is one of six bird-like characters that makes James Patterson's Maximum Ride a thrilling, action-packed book for older children who love suspense and fiction. Each character in the book contributes to this phenomenal book. Max is the 14 year-old leader and caregiver of the flock. None of the children has family that they know of, expect Angel and Gasman, who are siblings. There is Iggy, the blind; Fang, the mystery; Nudge, the odd; Gasman, the exploder, and Angel, the youngest. These six unnatural children were genetically engineered with bird DNA. The know neither how they were made nor why. But all the answers to their questions begin to unravel when the Erasers, the wolf morphing men, take Angel. She is taken back to The School, where the kids are all considered experiments to the White Coats and the Erasers. Thus, the action begins when the flock, as they call themselves, must go back to the horrid School to save Angel. On their journey they have many run-ins with Erasers. They cause the exhilarating scenes throughout the book. While at The School, Max doesn't find out about her past, but instead about the future. She also makes a new friend this is somewhat helpful, but doesn't seem to want to leave Max alone. One never knows where the flock will run next to get away from the Erasers or to stay out of trouble. They could go through the subways of Manhattan, or hide in the trees of Central Park. When reading Maximum Ride you will never know what hit you. You many never want to put the book down for even a split second. The author, James Patterson, keeps the reader excited and guessing what will happen next. He makes the end of every chapter a cliffhanger. Maximum Ride is a great book for older children and young adults. It is suspenseful, surprising, full of wonder, and bends your mind in ways you didn't think were possible.
Review: Oh my! What a ride! - There was nothing at all in this book to dislike. The story shows just how cruel and amazing humans can be. The whole concept of man tempering with genetics is believable and terrifying. The story of the flock and their struggles is heartbreaking and amazing. As I read about the Whitecoats manipulating genes in young children, I couldn't help but remember Jeff Godblum's remark in Jurassic Park, "...your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should." The scenario blows the.mind. I really loved the flock. The characters were so believable they touched my heart. Reading the story had me feeling scared, happy, angry, sad, and thrilled. It had me wanting more, more, more. What made my day after finishing the book is that I bought the whole series. So, I get to have so much more of this great series. I am hoping that the rest of the books are just as good as this one is. Having read many of Patterson's books before, I expect they will measure up. I will be recommending the books to my friends who enjoy most of the books I tell them about. As for anyone reading.my review, go for it! You won't be disappointed by a most remarkable ride.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting start to the story (although I doubt I'm the target audience)
*by G***. on June 3, 2026*

There's something curious about a group of kids referred to a "a flock" when all of them have wings! Raised in cages, living with a 'father' who's been rearing them for the last 4 years, but had disappeared and the kids all thought he was dead. Turned out he was one of the scientists at the facility they were kept at before they'd all escaped. This book revolves around Max, who's been tasked with one thing... saving the world. Will she be able to do it? I'm curious enough to keep reading to find out!
