Fourteen-year-old Maximum Ride and the other members of the “Flock”—Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman and Angel—are just like ordinary kids... but they can fly. It seems like a dream come true, except that they’re being hunted by half-human, half-wolf “Erasers” who can fly, too. 

In book two of the series, the Flock members are taken under the wing of an FBI agent and try to live “normal” lives by going to school, making friends, and continuing their relentless search for their parents. But the Erasers return, forcing the Flock to abandon their search and make their escape once again. The voice inside Max’s head keeps telling her that it’s up to her to save the world, but that’s especially challenging to do when she is faced with her ultimate match: a newer and better version of herself, Maximum Ride II. Max’s heart-stopping quest to investigate the mind-blowing mystery of her ultimate destiny continues in the scariest, strangest, and funniest James Patterson novel yet.

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Katee Paxon | 2/10/2014

    " Um, on this book it didnt really matter that JP had me at his first book in this series because the book was great on its own. It was,again, unpredictable, which is something that i definitely have to look for in books because who wants to know how the book will end before they're finished? Not me. So yea, again i recommend this for anyone looking for a good read. I loved it :) "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Tiffany Peterson | 2/9/2014

    " I liked this book better than the first one but the pacing is still kind of strange and the book ends without anything really being accomplished. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Tanya | 2/7/2014

    " WARNING!!! If planning to read this book, leave yourself plenty of time and don't expect to do anything else until this is finished; even if not the best book I've read-not the best book by far- I was enthralled. The book almost turned it's own pages. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Jayden | 11/30/2013

    " This is one of the better books in the too-long series. The early books in the series are great, funny and action-packed, but the later books just re-use jokes and are sketchy. The concept is interesting, the plot is good, and the characters are unforgetable. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Eva | 11/21/2013

    " I really liked it however is seems that the story line is dragging a bit and doesn't seem to resolve at the end. Perhaps that is to keep the series going. I definitely want to keep reading the series now that I have started to see where these characters go. "
