Maximum Ride

Author:  James Patterson
Rating:  4
Summary:  A group of children has grown up all their lives being experimented on, because of their unique abilities- they are 2% avian.  Fortunately, the children escaped from their captors, and have been living alone in the middle of nowhere for six years.  But, now the scientists in white lab coats have found them again, and have concoted a plan to get them back.  The rest of the series, is what follows.
Note:  I am going to be honest with you- I never read past the first book.  I can't really tell you what goes on in the books passed The Angel Experiment, but I know that my twelve year old friend read them, so I just don't know.  Make your call, I'm sure there are other sites that have a more thorough review than mine.
Violence and gore:  These children were experimented on for their childhoods, and Max- the main character- does reflect back on those experiments a few times.
Sexual content:  There is a romance brewing between Max (Max is a girl.  The scientists named her Maximum, for certain reasons, and she likes to be called Max) and Fang.
Language:  There is the occasional 'd' word- much more occasional than others book
Morals:  These kids are very brave, and are great examples of surviving hard times
                                    Girls, 13-14 years old, science fiction
