Product Description

Max Ride and her five friends grew up in a science lab/prison called the School. They were created as an experiment. An experiment where they ended up only 98 percent human. That other 2 percent had a big impact. These children are pretty special.

But when an 'experiment' this secret and this special has escaped from the School, the scientists are pretty keen on making sure the world never finds out about them.

Soon, Max and the other children find themselves on the run in an adventure beyond even their wildest dreams.

Kirkus Reviews
`Nonstop action carries this page-turner breathlessly from start to finish… Speed, suspense, excitement' Kirkus Reviews

Review

‘The first in a series from adult-thriller writer Patterson has all the characteristics of his work for grown-ups: pace, action, mystery and cool... sharp and punchy with plenty of jokes and shocks. And it proves that girls can be tough, too.’

The Sunday Times
`This skilled and compulsive tale is so involved about kids being brave against the odds' The Sunday Times, 3/7/05

LIVELY
I thought maximum ride,the angel experiment was a fantastic book.
The reason I rate this book five stars is because of the powerful story line.
Max,Iggy,Nudge,Angel,Fang and Gasman are six bird kids which are 2% bird and 98% human.
When monster type scientists kidnap Angel,the youngest kid out of the flock,Max knows she needs to fight back.
In this thrilling,funny and honest book,every page holds a new challenge.
Evan though this book is a young adult,ten year olds like me should still be able to read it.
So whenever your looking for a original and different story then you should pick this book of a shelf.

Absolutely brilliant
This book is written for teenagers but I am a fan of James Patterson and read this books reviews and it sounded good I also own the adult books that this story sprung from and loved them and this book was just as good. It was soo good that I lent it to my younger sister who is actually a teenager (but normally only reads very thin books) and she absolutely loved it too, so I had to order the next book....
