The Angel Experiment

The Angel Experiment is by James Patterson. This is the first book in the Maximum Ride series. A unique blend of science fiction and mystery; Max and her "flock" are part human/part bird. Four years ago they escaped from "the school", the lab where they were created, tortured, and treated like animals not kids. When six-year-old Angel is kidnapped by the "whitecoats" from "the school", 14-year-old Max and the other four members of the flock set out to rescue her. But things are not as simple as they appear. A great story. This is going to be a wonderful series. The implied torture of children may be a little rough for some readers, but it is not graphic and is necessary to the story.

Ratings: 8th grade - 9 out of 10 - MP (mild profanity)
