BoTW: Maximum Ride: School's Out Forever

It's been nearly four years since I first read James Patterson's Maximum Ride: the Angel Experiment. I liked that book for a number of reasons including its action-packed plot, short zippy chapters, and interesting characters. It didn't hurt that the main characters had wings like birds and could fly at speeds approaching 200 mph.

School's Out Forever is the sequel to that pulse-pounding first book, picking up exactly where the last left off. Max and company desperately want to find their biological parents. Pursued relentlessly by Ari and the other Erasers, the flock finds themselves constantly on the run, with few clues on how to pick up the trail of their real parents.

Come for the teenagers with wings and super-strength. Stay for the tightly wound action and snappy narrative.
