Maximum Ride #2: School's Out -- Forever

Maximum Ride #2: School's Out -- Forever Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The Angel Experiment was just a test drive....Now, brace yourself for the maximum ride!

James Patterson shifts high action into overdrive in this eagerly awaited follow-up to his #1 New York Times bestseller. Brave bird-kid Max and her flock fly south on a perilous quest to find their parents, after having rescued Angel and recovered secret documents about their origins. But just when they think they've finally escaped the hungry claws of evil Erasers, they're discovered by an FBI agent and forced to face perhaps an even worse nightmare: going to school. There's no such thing as an ordinary day when Max's "homework" includes decoding documents, deciphering when (and how) she's supposed to save the world, and learning to face what may her greatest enemy: herself. A clone. Max II.

Review:

"It sets up well for a third book, which is destined to be another delight." VOYA

Review:

"The story is disappointingly anticlimactic and violent. Still, it does have some appeal — the children continually outmaneuver their attackers without permanent damage. Plus, the talking dog they pick up during their adventures is sure to entertain." School Library Journal

Review:

"Readers are in for another exciting wild ride of fights (bloody) and flights (in the sky) as Max and her flock struggle to stay alive." Kirkus Reviews

Synopsis:

Teagan, Finn, and Aiden have made it out of Mag Mell alive, but the Dark Man's forces are hot on their heels. Back in Chicago, Teas goblin cousins show up at her school, sure she will come back to Mag Mell, as goblin blood is never passive once awoken. Soon she will belong to Fear Doirich and join them. In the meantime, they are happy to entertain themselves by trying to seduce, kidnap, or kill Teas family and friends. 

     Teagan knows she doesnt have much time left, and she refuses to leave Finn or her family to be tortured and killed. A wild Stormrider, born to rule and reign, is growing stronger inside her. But as long as she can hold on, shes still Teagan Wylltson, who plans to be a veterinarian and who heals the sick and hurting. The disease thats destroying herthats destroying them allhas a name: Fear Doirich. 

     And Teagan Wylltson is not going to let him win.
