"The picture was of baby Gasman, with his telltale cowlick, being held by a women who looked kind of tired and washed out. The camera was focused on a wooden table, then a slip of paper lying on the table. It was a check. The name it was made out to was obliterated. The check was from Itex, for $10,000. His mother had sold him for $10,000 to the whitecoats at the school."(pg 147-148)
Reading the other books Max keeps finding pictures of themselves when they were younger. Where does she keep finding these pictures but not fang and herself. In the first book when they went to the institute, they found files on the flocks. Iggy tried to find his mom from the address but Ari was there. When she found more pictures in this book she must have kept the files with her maybe? Gasman must been happy to see his baby picture with his mom but she was under stress. When I read about the check for $10,000 I was surprised that Gazzy's mother sold him to the scientist at the school. That is messed up selling your own child to people you do not even know. But for $10,000 is a lot and she was stressed out so she probably had to take the offer and take a break from working. This makes me think if the flocks parents also had this kind of offer to them because they figured out that their parents gave them up to the whitecoats. If that happened to me I probably wound not take that offer and keep my child.
"Thanks, Max," Ari said when he was within earshot."You won't regret this, I promise. I'm going to keep you safe." (pg 162)
Before Ari thank Max. 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 leading trap for the flocks.

Maximum Ride: Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports
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 yo kill her. In the beginning they went to see a sports game and later on they are being noticed by the humans and they saw them in the newspaper. So they had to get out of the place befor the erasers try to get them.
"Football game", said Fang. What? Iggy asked, his face brightening. "Football game tonight, Texas Stadium". Fang snapped the laptop shut and stood. "I think we should go".(pg20)
When I read to this part of the book I was thinking what if they get caught when the erasers sees them on TV? Max thought he was nuts because they need to get out of site of people especial at a foot ball game. It would be a night mare if they went down there surrounded by thousands of people and cameras. It would be risky to go down there but they went anyways. The stadium was an open sky and it was the Cowboys vs the Chicago Bears. As I was reading I thought they were going to watch the game at the top of the stadium to be safe. Later on They were sitting with other people and some people started to notice they were those bird kids. They spotted erasers coming towards them and they had to get out.
It wasn't as through they had saved my life or anything Ella and Dr. Martinez. It was worse: They had shown me what a life could be like in Normal Land. It haunted me ever since I'd left them.(pg68)
I was a bit surprised when Max and Fang arrived back to Ella's house because in the first book she had to leave her for Angel. She didn't want to return and now she came back again along with Fang. It would been a good idea to return 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.

Maximum Ride # 3
At the school, the flocks had an assembly but they were not there. They started to wonder around the school but the principle caught them. The principle started to turn into a eraser so the flocks split up to lose the eraser. As they met up again they took off in the air away from the school. They needed to head over to Anne's house to get some supplies. Max already hid some back up supplies a few days ago. Angel wanted to go back to Anne's house which is not a good idea but Total was there. Angel found Total in the yard and she flew to get him. When she got him the flocks sees a car pull up in the drive way. It was Jeb, Ari, Anne, and the other teachers. They were all working together after the flocks.
They flew away towards the beach after a second battle between Fang and Ari. Ari is the only child that Jeb seems to care for and Ari wants to be with max. Max is twice his age.When the flock are on the run again and always being located by the Erasers which is possibly a via chip implanted into Max. They try to find the corporation who planted the chip in Max Located in Florida called Itex that Angel recalls the scientists discussing when she was captured by them. Max is captured by their eraser and a Max-clone is left in her place. She is held captive at Itex as a subjected to an isolation tank. The flocks which they don't know that Max is Max is lead by the Max-clone into Itex. They try to discover what they can about the flocks parentage and Max's Voice's telling her to save the world but they lead into a trap where all the members of the flock are to be terminated. Max breaks out of the isolation tank, reuniting with the flock and continues life on the run towards an unknown journey ahead them.

Maximum Ride: School's Out Forever
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'.

Maximum Ride part 2
So far in the second part of the book, Max had left Ella's house and found out she had a chip in her body. She went to go meet up with Fang and Nudge in Arizona. By the time she arrive there the Gasman and Iggy was with Fang and Nudge. The Gasman and Iggy was supposed to stay at the house but the Erasers came. They try to fight them off but they could not defeat them all and they flew over to Fang and Nudge. The five of them went to continue their mission to save Angel at the school where the scientist are keeping her. As they were heading over to Angel, the five of them had to take a break and they stole some guys credit card. Max tried to hack the ATM to gain access for money and she typed in the four digit code. It did not work so Iggy tried to guess the code and he access into the ATM. Max deposit $200.
They all went to the forest to spend the night. They woke up and headed to the school to save Angel. When they got to the school they busted out Angel and flew high up into the sky so the Erasers can not track them down. They went to the hill side to rest and Angel looking a mess. Angel knew some information about the Institute that she over heard the scientist talking. There was information files about them that was located somewhere in New York. They wanted to know where this Institute was and they flew to New York. When they arrive there they saw a night concert and Nudge wanted to go. New York was a busy city and if an Eraser spots them they could lose them easily. They went to the library to use the computers to find out where the Institute was located. Max could tell that there weren't a lot of people who were disguise as Erasers.

Maximum Ride
Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment is a great fictional novel book by James Patterson. This book is about six main characters Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, the Gasman, and Angel who were involved in an experiment. The scientist were doing an experiment that turned them into mutants with wings. All six of them escaped from the scientist lab and other mutants called erasers which are half human half wolf went to hunt them down. The erasers ambushed their house and they have taken Angel. The five of the characters are trying to rescue her.
When I started reading this book, it felt intense and I can imagine what's going in the story. In the beginning of the book, the author starts with first person as Max and I liked it when he describes the details where shes going and what's hitting her. I was into the book but when it said,"I jolted upright in bed, gasping, my hand over my heart." (pg8) That line kind of ruined it because I wanted to know what was going to happen but it was a dream. Another part of the book that surprised and worried me was when Max was shot by the person trying to attack Ella. Max went over to Ella's house to get help from her mom who is a vet, Dr. Martinez. When Dr. Martinez was patching up her wound Dr. Martinez saw her wings and started asking some questions. I thought Max was going to get in trouble but good thing Dr. Martinez didn't call the cops or something. She decides to help her out.
You guys know how many sequels there are for this book? Because I would like to read more about Maximum Ride. I am excited to know what will happen in the next two thirds of the book.
