Publisher Description

In this eagerly awaited follow-up, brave bird-kid Max and her flock are discovered by an FBI agent and forced to go to "school." There is no such thing as an ordinary day as Max deciphers how and when she's supposed to save the world, and she faces her greatest enemy--a clone of herself.

"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 :)"

    " 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. "
