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.

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.
