The book I am read Maximum Ride: Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports by James Patterson. Max had escape from the Itex from the scientist who are trying to kill her. In the beginning they went to see a sports game and later on they were being noticed by the humans and they saw them in the newspaper. So they had to get out of the place before the erasers try to get them. Sothe Erasers were some of the first to be destroyed and have been replaced by the new better Flyboys (robotic Erasers that can fly). There were issues when Max invites Ari to join the group, leaving Fang and half of the flock to split off in protest, with Max the leader of one group, and Fang the leader of the second. And in the midst of all this, Max eventually finds out who her real parents are. But she is stuck at a castle, fighting. Max beats off Omega (a young boy that is seemingly perfect). As they are fighting they notice how helpful Fang's blog could be.

There were two parts that surprised me while I read my book. One of them was when Max returned back to Ella's house because in the first book Max found Ella in trouble so max came to save her. She had to leave because Max had to go rescue Angel. When she had left Ella's house Ella's mom, Dr. Martinez said she could come back if she needed any thing. But she did not want to cause any trouble to return. Max came back to Ella's along with Fang to get any information on the chip that was planted in Max's arm. It was a good idea to return back because Max showed Dr. Martinez her wounded arm and scan an x-ray and found a chip in her arm. Dr. Martinez found a way to take it out with out damaging her nerves.
The second part was when Ari saved the flocks and Max wanted Ari to join the group. But Fang thought she was crazy because Ari tried to kill them like hundred times in the back in the past and she wants Ari to tag along. Fand did not want Ari to be with them so Fang and Iggy decide not to join them. They were separated for about a week or two and Ari is with Max, Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel. Max and Fang feels like they do not need each other and Fang does not need Max in his life but Max feels left out flying without Fang being her wing man. Max's group head over to Germany because the head master of the Itex was located there. Later Fang received a message that Max needed him. He says,"So. Max wanted him back, eh? She didn't say weather she still had Frankenbirdy with her. If she did, Fang did not want any part of this."
Fang had checked his blog and max wrote him a message that their wasa lot of really bad stuff are going on in Germany. They were at the castle of the head of the Itex. Fang left the part of the flocks because Ari was with them and Fang did not trust him from after all the times he tried to kill the flocks. Fang should have trusted Max that Ari had changed and this part would not have happened. Fang has to get to Germany which is really far from where he is at and Max and her other flocks took a plane over to Germany. How is Fang going to end up way over there. He seemed to be lost when he read Max's Message. How was he going to get there, fly across the world to Germany? Fang better get there before Max is in big trouble with out his help. He wanted to know how bad the issue had occurred. He continues his blog that he still has a chance to save the world.


In the third series of Maximum Ride: Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports, Ari became an interesting character in my book. Ari is a 7 year old kid who is mean and thinks he is tough. Jeb is the father of Ari who raised him just like the flocks but not exactly the same. Jeb also mutated his son with the flocks except he didn't have wings. Ari is the leader of the erasers. He was trained to hunt down the flocks and "tries" to kill them. He is ordered to attack the flocks and take one of the flocks if he is told to do so. Ari also has a "thing" for Max that he is in love with her. There was part where Ari attacked the flocks at the beach. Max and Ari were fighting one on one chasing each other in the sky fighting. Ari fly's back down and Max attacks him sending him to the ground. Ari hits the ground ending up breaking his neck. But Ari came back alive in the third book which is weird when i found that out. In this quote he mentions about how he came back: "Uh-to make up for almost killing you back in New York?" Ari didn't look at me. "You did kill me," he said. "They brought me back. Fused some of the bones in my neck."
When I read in the book where Ari starts to come back it surprised me because Max killed him. I wondered how Ari came back but I knew that Jeb had revived him. It is kind of obvious that Jeb is most likely the only person who could bring him back to life. I did not know that Ari would come back but he did. Now I know how Ari got his neck fixed when Max killed him by the neck. How long did it take Jeb to fused some of Ari's bones back in his neck. It looks like Ari had changed since he saved the flocks and he starts to be more open. He tells Max more information she needs to know. What if Ari try to trick the flocks and bring them to a trap and all of this is a set up? Because the flocks were captured by the flyboys who are like erasers they do they erasers job and they are robots with guns attached to their hands, and Ari came by to rescue them. Ari helped the flocks escape from their cage. As the flocks flew in the sky Max sees the guards with guns running towards Ari and she knew they were going to kill him. The flocks wanted him dead because he tried to kill them like a hundred times. Even tho Max had already killed Ari once and if he died again he might be resurrected again. But Max has a feeling that Ari is started to change because he helped the flocks get out. The flocks don't trusted him but Max and Angel do. It seems like this could be a rap leading for the flocks.
