In our new book Maximum Ride: School's Out Forever by James Patterson. The flocks who are ages six to fourteen, are fleeing the lunatic scientists that created them. They experience a brief respite from the Erasers, human-wolf recombinant that are like the scientists' hit-men and they can command the eraser what to do. The flocks were on there way to Washington D.C., and they notice a big dark looking cloud coming towards them and as it came closer it turns out they were eraser with wings. It turns out the chief eraser Ari is back. From the first series Max had killed Ari in a battle and he was completely dead,now he is a live. The flocks and the erasers start to battle. Everyone is beating up each other and after one of the two oldest children is badly beaten up by Ari. Fourteen year old Fang had been cut when Ari attacked him and he had to get to the hospital. Max did not want to be in contacted with the humans because they could be erasers and Max had to risk Fang's life or get involved with more erasers. When Fang arrived to the hospital he was losing lots of blood so Max donated blood to Fang. As Fang was resting some FBI agents came to the flocks to ask them some questions. There were three of them who were asking the flocks questions and they lied about their names and that they were brother and sisters.
One of the agent, Anne, offers the flocks to stay at her house since they have no where else to stay. In Anne's home the flock; leader Max, second in command Fang, blind Iggy, Nudge, and six year old Gasman and Angel experience normalcy for almost the first time in their lives. In the country setting the flocks even uncover certain heretofore unknown abilities. All six children can fly but during their stay with the FBI agent Angel discovers she can talk to fish and further develops her ability to read minds and exercise mind control over others. A dog the flocks picked up at one of the underground genetic engineering labs is discovered to be able to talk. As they were staying at Anne's house she wants them to start school. Max and Fang both have love interest and they are both getting jealous of one another, the chapter, Fang falls for Max and she doesn't show any interests like not having a date or a talk. When the flocks are attending at school, seems like it could not get better except for a school principal who seems to have it in for the children and glimpses of Erasers in the local town. While the Gasman and Iggy are looking around in the school basement. They find all of these files that were about how the school got closed down a long time ago. A teacher comes down and tries to kill them. Iggy's specialty is creating bombs so he makes a bomb quickly and lets it set off. Later it turns out that Agent Anne is actually an eraser. She was one of the scientist working with Jeb and the others to track down the flocks. Anne was even nice enough to offer the flocks to stay at her home but she had to betray them. Anne actually got Max to give her some information about whats going on with the flocks. When I was wondering when I read the part when the FBI agents came to question them, how did they know where they were? She literally has a Voice inside her head that alternately councils and frustrates her, telling her that she must ‘save the world'.
