A breathtaking new story from the astonishing imagination of James Patterson: a girl who can fly has to save herself from the scientists who want to control her--and maybe save the world in the process.
Synopsis:
Three cheers Max is one of the smartest, strongest, funniest heroines around. - Diane Garrett, Diane's Books
In this breathtaking new story from the astonishing imagination of James Patterson, a girl has to save herself from an army assembled just to capture her-and maybe save the planet while she's at it.
Maximum Ride is a perfectly normal teenager who just happens to be able to fly, the result of an out-of-control government experiment. Max and the other members of the Flock-six kids who share her remarkable ability-have been asked to aid a group of environmental scientists studying the causes of global warming. The expedition seems like a perfect combination of adventure, activism-and escaping government forces who watch the Flock like a hawk.
But even in Antarctica, trapped in the harshest weather on our planet, Maximum Ride is an irresistible target in constant danger. For whoever controls her powers could also control the world . . . Maximum Ride is James Patterson's greatest character, a heroine who manages to be human and fearless at once. THE FINAL WARNING is an unrelenting new adventure from the writer Time magazine has called The Man Who Can't Miss.
A JAMES PATTERSON FAMILY PAGETURNER
In the spirit of the most enduring hit movies and books, James Patterson has written this story for readers from ten to a hundred and ten. Special care has been taken with the language and content of THE FINAL WARNING.

The first three books in this series were amazing, this one...was not. It's 256 pages of Patterson (in the guise of his much beloved characters) preaching about the dangers of global warming. Is global warming a danger...yes. Does global warming cause giant super hurricanes to spontaneously appear out of no where...no. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. Save your money and spend on something that isn't some authors political ideology thinly disguised as a childrens novel.

Maximum Ride is a newly found series of mine, but I love it just the same. It is on the same level as Harry Potter and the Warriors series. I love the attitude that Max has about everything. There is a lot of suspense in this series. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for all fiction lovers.
